University of Massachusetts Lowell

The University of Massachusetts Lowell (UMass Lowell and UML) is a public research university in Lowell, Massachusetts, with a satellite campus in Haverhill, Massachusetts. It is the northernmost member of the University of Massachusetts public university system and has been accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) since 1975. With 1,110 faculty members and over 18,000 students, it is the largest university in the Merrimack Valley and the second-largest public institution in the state. It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity".

The university offers 120 bachelor's degree, 43 master's degree, and 25 doctoral degree programs, including nationally recognized programs in engineering, criminal justice, education, music, science, and technology. The university is one of the few public universities in the United States to offer accredited undergraduate degrees in meteorology, sound recording technology, nuclear engineering and plastics engineering. It was the first to offer a degree in music education. Academically, UMass Lowell is organized into six schools and colleges: the College of Fine Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; the College of Education; the Kennedy College of Sciences; the Francis College of Engineering; the Manning School of Business; and the Zuckerberg College of Health Sciences.

History
The University of Massachusetts Lowell owes its origins to two institutions founded in the 1890s: Lowell State College on the south side of the Merrimack River and Lowell Technological Institute on the north side. Each would follow its own path of expansion through the 20th century.

Lowell State College
Lowell State College got its start as the Lowell Normal School, which was chartered in 1894 as a teacher-training institution for women. The 10th and final normal school to be established in Massachusetts, it opened in 1898 with 108 students and five faculty members. The original classroom building opened the next year at the corner of Broadway and Wilder streets, and quickly became a landmark in the city. Designed by local firm Stickney & Austin, it reflects the fashion of the time: high-style Beaux Arts with classical symmetry, arches, cast-iron lampposts and yellow brick. Its design was influenced in part by Lowell High School, which was also designed by Lowell native Frederick W. Stickney. Frank Coburn, for whom the hall was later named, served as the school's first principal until 1908.

After being threatened with closure during the Great Depression, school administrators rallied local support to help keep it open. A delegation of prominent individuals representing Lowell's powerful interest groups traveled to Boston and convinced state officials of the school's importance. The result was that the school not only survived, but continued to grow and expand. In 1950, Dr. Daniel O'Leary assumed the presidency and initiated an ambitious building program. The physical plant of the campus expanded during post-war era from a single structure to a multi-building complex, forming an area now known as UMass Lowell's South Campus.

As the demand for more qualified teachers grew, the legislature reorganized the Normal School into Lowell State College in 1960 with a curriculum that expanded beyond education to include baccalaureate degrees in other fields including nursing and music. Beginning in 1967, the college was authorized to confer two more degrees: Master of Education and Master of Music Education.

Lowell Technological Institute
Established in 1895 as the Lowell Textile School, the institution was founded to train technicians and managers for work in Lowell's booming textile industry. Modeled after the now-defunct Polytechnic College of Pennsylvania, Lowell Textile was the combined effort of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and corporations eager to form a school dedicated to textile education. Under the guidance of founder James T. Smith, Lowell Textile opened its doors in February 1897 in the upper floors of a downtown commercial block located on Middle Street. The school offered three-year training programs in cotton and wool manufacturing, design, textile chemistry and dyeing.

In 1903, the school moved from downtown to its permanent location just northwest of the Merrimack River. The yellow brick mill-like Southwick Hall was dedicated to Royal and Dierexa Southwick. Grandparents of the wealthy businessman Frederick Ayer, the Southwicks were Quakers and abolitionists who came to Lowell in the 1820s to help establish the Lowell Carpet Company. Ten years later, the school granted its first bachelor's degrees in textile dyeing and textile engineering.

In 1953, President Martin Lydon expanded the curriculum to include programs in plastics, leather, paper and electronics technology, increased the liberal arts offerings and renamed the school the Lowell Technological Institute. He moved the institute decisively toward general engineering, setting up a bachelor's program in 1956. The textile program was closed in 1971, reflecting the closure of most of the mills in the city.

University of Lowell
In 1972, a feasibility study was conducted on merging Lowell State College with Lowell Technological Institute. Lowell State and Lowell Tech merged in 1975 as the University of Lowell. Durgin Hall, with its 1000-seat performance venue, was dedicated as the home of the Music Department. The Manning School of Business (then the College of Management Science) was accredited. The College of Education became certified to offer a doctorate in education (Ed.D.). The College of Health Professions (now the Zuckerberg College of Health Sciences) was established. Enrollment increased 58% by 1985.

Merger with University of Massachusetts
In 1991, the Lowell campus joined the University of Massachusetts system under its current name. Under Chapter 142, the UMass system was restructured to combine the Amherst, Boston, and Worcester campuses with the University of Lowell and Southeastern Massachusetts University (now UMass Dartmouth).

Recent developments
In 2019, a sexual harassment complaint against Associate Dean Oliver Ibe was settled by the university. The complaint was from a younger female staff member in 2017. Ibe's title of associate dean was removed and he returned to the faculty despite a petition from faculty and staff to have him removed from the campus. He retired the following year.

Campus
UMass Lowell is the second-largest campus in the University of Massachusetts system, and has three campus clusters: North, South, and East. The university's main facilities are located in Lowell, Massachusetts, 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Boston on both sides of the Merrimack River. Between 2013 and 2018, the university increased student housing by more than 2,500 beds, including opening three new residence halls in 2013, 2015, and 2017. In fall 2021, thirty-five percent of undergraduates lived in university–owned, operated, or affiliated housing, including sixty-one percent of first year students.

Organization and administration
The university is governed by a six-member executive cabinet, including and led by the chancellor. The current chancellor is Julie Chen, who was appointed in May 2022. Marty Meehan, former UMass Lowell Chancellor, is currently the president of the entire University of Massachusetts system.

Talk:Ketamine

Transient effect
The article mentions "Ketamine is a robust and rapid-acting antidepressant, although its effect is transient". I am not aware of any antidepressant whose effect is not transient, yet similar mentions are not included in articles on other antidepressants such as SSRIs. Should we consider removing this mention, or adding similar to other articles about antidepressants? 153.92.159.205 (talk) 22:08, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

I found this strange too, and later parts of the article talk about it only lasting a week or so but doesn’t really explain why this is significant - as you say, most drugs require repeated doses. EAi (talk) 23:40, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Safest according to who?
There is much evidence out there that the long term effects of ketamine may cause fear based pathways to develop in people's brains, and cause trauma due its effects. It is a hallucinogenic drug, it induces a catatonic state at anesthesia levels,  causes blindness, acute speech and motor pathway impairments, intellectual impairments and effects that are akin to a locked in syndrome where the patient may be in distress but may not even be able to tell you while being wide awake. I wouldn't call the psychological effects of ketamine at doses producing anesthesia to be safe at all. Who writes this article? I assume medical professionals who have no knowledge of what it's like to be sedated with ketamine? It is also directly associated with the death of Death of Elijah McClain and the Killing of Tony Timpa in relation to the controversial condition Excited delirium which by all sensible medical accounts from coroners reports shows that there has never been a death as a result of excited delirium without a doctor, paramedic, or police officer involved.

It's highly controversial as to whether it's safe at all and only entered into the predilections of being "safe" as accounted for by medical scientists due to its profile of not causing respiratory failures while not accounting for the other dangers involved in its administration vs. other sedating agents that were previously typically used such as midazolam. As a person with a lived experience of being anesthatised with both ketamine and midazolam any "science" that says its safer in the sense of causing fewer deaths hasn't accounted for the fact that the primary modality of anesthesia with ketamine is disasociation, and the main paralytic is an induced state of catatonia and therefore it is quizzical to a person like me who also has enough medical and scientific knowledge as to how anyone who has been directly stupefied with ketamine could indeed call it safe. In fact it may well induce psychological trauma as a well known side effect.

I suggest any clinician who considers ketamine "safe" goes and injects them self with it at a full adult dose for sedation just to feel how "safe" you don't feel under the effects of it.

This article is quizzical and needs to represent these facts. Ketamine has come back into vogue after basically being a drug of last resort listed by the WHO for use in field hospitals. In the sense that a person can self respirate on ketamine so you can perform operations basically in war zones, yeah maybe. But it has been adopted as a sedative/paralytic agent and has been implicated in many similar deaths such as the people above. Further to the point, the fact that a person breathes themselves under the effects of ketamine is entirely not guaranteed introudcing the facts that the person may well indeed need to be respirated or bagged for oxygen in the case they do indeed stop breathing.

The actual effects of this drug are far more controversial than what this article suggests and should reflect that. At present this article is poor and largely represents a clinical perspective taken by clinicians who have never felt the actual effects of the drug or been stuck in the metaphorical "K Hole."

The safety rates are generally hyperbole as they don't include the likelihood of prolonged psychological distress from the effects of the drug especially when injected for psychiatric uses as a tranquilizer which may indeed feel like a trip into some kind of oblivion as an experience at the doses they use for rapid sedation. As a clinician or scientist involved in this hyperbole please feel free to take a dose of ketamine required for rapid sedation yourself and then come back and tell me how "safe" you felt. The safety of ketamine needs to be highly qualified by patient experience, as likewise being sedated with a large dose of midazolam. For such an equivalency test though its already abundantly obvious midazolam sedation feels like nothing more than going into a deep peaceful sleep, and when the patient emerges from sedation it will be like nothing ever happened to them. A comparative test for patient experience would almost certainly highlight the nightmarish amount of side effects that are necessary to achieve anesthesia and paralytic effects.

The notion that ketamine is "safe" in that sense is highly quizzical and full of large academic potholes that don't account for the sensation of patient safety and look at it purely from a clinical perspective without the knowledge of dissociative from an actual lived experience to qualify patient "safety" while under the influence of said drug. I can assure you if you had been injected with a large dose of ketamine you may not feel safe at all.

The safety aspect needs a high degree of discretion with many qualifications as to how it is considered "safe" v. other sedatives and paralytics. Of course in a modern hospital the safety aspect v. propofol is negated by having the necessary equipment should something go wrong. I have been anesthetized with propofol when I broke my arm also, and all it caused was a sense of emergence amnesia that the operation to put my arm back into place ever happened. 120.22.119.22 (talk) 11:59, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Article on the impact and concerns of enabling legal tele-medicine ketamine prescriptions
There's evidence of addiction and toxic effects from telemedicine prescriptions of ketamine in the US. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/20/us/ketamine-telemedicine.html?smid=url-share Neiabr (talk) 18:32, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Including role of glutamate in antidepressant effects
Currently, under the "Mechanism of action," the article states: "In any case, it has been elucidated that acute blockade of NMDA receptors in the brain results in an activation of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPA receptors), which in turn modulate a variety of downstream signaling pathways to influence neurotransmission in the limbic system and mediate antidepressant effects of NMDA receptor antagonists like ketamine." The article does not address why the acute blockade of NMDA receptors in the brain results in an activation of AMPA receptors, which is very important to the explanation. The most accepted explanation of this appears to be due to a "glutamate surge".

This except explains it well: "Subanesthetic-dose ketamine administration leads to immediate presynaptic disinhibition of glutamatergic neurons, producing a glutamate surge (Moghaddam et al., 1997). This surge is thought to result from the blockade of NMDA receptors targeting γ-aminobutyric acid-ergic interneurons, leading to local inhibition of interneuron tonic firing and subsequent disinhibition of glutamate transmission (Homayoun and Moghaddam, 2007). Due to a blockade of NMDA receptors on postsynaptic excitatory neurons, excess synaptic glutamate is primarily taken up by AMPA receptors, thereby activating neuroplasticity-related signaling pathways (including mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (Li et al., 2010; Li et al., 2011) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Liu et al., 2012), both of which result in increased synaptogenesis and synaptic potentiation)."

I am thinking that the sentence should be changed to something to the effect of: "In any case, it has been elucidated that acute blockade of NMDA receptors in the brain results in an increase in glutamate production, which leads to an activation of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPA receptors), which in turn modulate a variety of downstream signaling pathways to influence neurotransmission in the limbic system and mediate antidepressant effects of NMDA receptor antagonists like ketamine."

Quibbles

 *  ... his assumption has been demonstrated as the basic error, because it neglects the dependence of this percentage on three further factors.

Up to this point there is no mention of controversy. Does "basic error" mean the science is invalid? What three factors? This needs to be better introduced and clarified. —Michael Z. 2006-09-21 23:23 Z

Romance is a bad example

 * Thus, glottochronology shows Latin to have split into Romance vernaculars around the 1st-3rd centuries A.D., exactly when the process was supposedly taking place.

That is a bad proof. When Swadesh developed the technique, he calibrated it by setting the coefficients according to data from well-known families (the article should mention which ones). I very much doubt that he not tried Romance languages. Hence, this example has no predictive power. To proove the hypothesis, Glottochronology should be applied to a relation not tested by Swadesh in his calibrations and the results be compared with those from history, archeology or whatever. Remove the example or substitute it. --Error 18:57, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree the example is not good. Well, glottochronology HAS been applied to a lot of territory not tested by Swadesh: Chinese, Japanese, Semitic, Turkic (I am only mentioning families where the data are at least partially verifiable through extra-linguistic means). No significant divergences here.Gstarst 09:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

New revisions partially reverted
The following comment is specially for Hans Holm, whose latest series of revisions I have partially retained and partially dared to cancel:

It is very pleasant to see Prof. Holm take a somewhat more objective stand on the issue and add some important factual data, for which I and all the readers of Wikipaedia should be grateful. However, I still had no choice but to eliminate some of the recent changes, for the following reasons:

a) typos and grammatical errors (no one is immune to this, but the text SHOULD be readable);

b) discussion intonations (phrases like "Please note that this is...", etc.) sound like they belong on this discussion page, not on the main one;

c) the rewrite was obviously incomplete, leading to duplicate entries (e. g. the Bergsland & Vogt argument is first shown by me as overcome by Starostin's method, THEN reintroduced again in the critical section as a serious obstacle!);

d) argumentation that should have first been resolved on the talk page, where Prof. Holm is no longer responding. For instance (to quote two passages that I have omitted, although I have tried to incorporate the argumentation from the first one elsewhere):

Another line of arguments is represented by Haarmann (e.g. 1990), who demonstrated that there is no region of the vocabulary "safe" from being changed, as has been argued by glottochronologists, e.g. parts of the body, colour terms, numbers, or pronouns.

This statement is objectively wrong in two possible ways, depending on what is meant by "no region of the vocabulary safe from being changed". If this means that "some of the items on the 100 wordlist can never ever be replaced", then it is wrong, because no glottochronologist (at least, no SERIOUS glottochronologist who actually worked with specific lists) has ever said that. If this means "some of the items on the 100 wordlist can very very rarely be replaced", then, obviously, Haarmann could not have demonstrated that on his limited selection of examples; a much more global analysis would be in order.

''For example, English did not replace about50 % of its originally Germanic vocabulary 'by time', but by Norman dominance after the battle of Hastings, besides a long-lasting educational background of Latin. Though this event changed only one or two percent of "the" (depends on the version) Swadesh 100-wordlist, there are six items changed already before by Viking influence. Please note that this is a difference in quantity, not in reasons and computability.''

Apart from sounding like part of a discussion (see above), this also makes little sense AFTER the introduction of the Starostin argument. Viking or norman influence, the items on the list either remain as entities or are replaced by borrowings. When forms are borrowed from closely related languages - so that it is sometimes hard to distinguish a borrowing from an 'ancient' word without a good knowledge of the correspondences - this creates limited technical difficulties for the method, but does not invalidate its essence. And I already said that before.

Another example is Albanian, which changed 90% of its Indo-European heritage, and still about 75% in the Swadesh list, mainly by Roman dominance, later by South-Slavonian influence.

This phrase will lead the reader to believe that 75% in the Albanian Swadesh list have been replaced under the influence of (aka: by borrowings from) Latin and Slavic languages. This is false. The actual figure, just by looking at the wordlist, is closer to 15, at most 20%. On the other hand, Albanian and, for instance, Tokharian A, share about 20% common words on the list, which is more or less what we expect from them. This can hardly represent Tokharian influence on Albanian.Gstarst 10:50, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I would be happy to see this Albanian word list referred to. Can You give me the source?HJJHolm (talk) 17:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * The wordlist we use for the calculations was compiled by Vladimir Oryol (author of the "Albanian Etymological Dictionary") and is in STARLING form; I will be happy to share, but you will need to download the software from our site (starling.rinet.ru). However, just about any existing wordlist for Albanian will do - e. g. the one found here: www.cs.rice.edu/~nakhleh/CPHL/ie-wordlist-07.pdf. (Note, please, that my figures refer to the 100-wordlist; for the 200-wordlist the figures may be slightly higher, since we are bringing in less stable lexemes).Gstarst (talk) 19:45, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

After 14 years: Thanks for the positive words and corrections. However, the whole chapter is still dominated, as it has been for 30 years, by completely outdated literature and the absolute overvaluation of the approaches of George Starostin, who for years prevented and apparently still prevents any attempt to give fair consideration to other and important scientific approaches in a nationalistic and egoistic manner. Since I did not get any support then, I had to give up my attempts and can only refer to the scientific literature that can be found on the Internet (e.g., Sheila Embleton, Tandy Warnow, Hans J. Holm, and many others). Extreme caution should be exercised when authors describe their own approach as "perfect" (Ringe) or "objective" (Starostin 2014), thereby disparaging colleagues as less perfect or less objective.2A02:8108:9640:AC3:8BB:573B:1E15:1C38 (talk) 15:56, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Bibliographical Data Missing
Bibliographical data is missing in the "results"-section. I suspect that most of it is taken from Fox. This is a bit annoying since you won't find any of the articles in the web, because almost all pages took the information from wikipedia. Limajo (talk) 07:40, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Criticisms?
I believe that since glottochronology has been criticized based on some analysis, a comprehensive criticism section should be introduced to deal with the scholarly work which scientifically addresses the problems with methods of glottochronology.Grathmy (talk) 20:45, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

The equations Aren't
An "equation" like this one

 * $$L = 2\ln(r) $$

 * where L is the rate of replacement, ln is the logarithm to base e, and r is the glottochronological constant

cannot hold: $$L$$ has a dimension $$1/Time$$ while the right hand side is dimensionless. Either there is something missing in the definition of $$L$$ (namely the time period where the replacements occur) or there is some constant on the right hand side missing introducing the unit of measurement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.96.90.27 (talk) 15:23, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

User talk:Pookel

Hi, welcome to the 'pedia! Good recipe articles. Here's the FAQ sheet for handy reference, but it looks like you're doing well anyway. - Hephaestos 03:28 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Francis E. Dec
Hi Pookel - I tripped over the third AfD for the Dec article some time ago... I'd forgotten all about it until I got your note. People were really freaking out about the guy... that he was "too fringe" to have a WP article, that the article was really a fanzine and not a "real" article, etc etc etc etc. At that point, I could smell blood in the water and so copied the article to one of my Sandbox pages. Another editor somehow found out I'd done this, and had an Admin delete the Sandbox page. He also wrote me a snot-nosed talk message about how this was forbidden, against Wikipedia's Rules of Whatever, and basically admonished me for trying to keep the article alive by underhanded means. That was the last I ever saw of it. There is some way to ask an Admin to "restore" it in some uneditable form so at least you can read it, but I've forgotten how to do this, and it probably would be denied, anyway.

I'd hoped the Wayback Machine might have the article squirreled away but no such luck. A Google search yields only fansites. I'm sorry I can't help; keep me in mind if you ever get a hold of it. Cheers. Seduisant (talk) 02:09, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Sixth Pillar of Islam

There are only five Pillars of Islam that are universally accepted as the basis of Islamic practice. However, the Kharijites upheld the belief that Jihad may be considered the sixth pillar. In their interpretation, jihad could be an individual's internal struggle against baser instincts, the struggle to build a good Muslim society, or a war for the faith against unbelievers. Jihad is a vague term for the act of promoting Islam or improving observance of Islamic practices and may range from defending one's religion against aggressors when attacked to struggle against the lower self (against ones ego) meaning self-improvement.

In Twelver Shi'a Islam, the second-largest branch of Islam, jihad is one of the ten Practices of the Religion.

Jihad was brought up in controversial magazine Charlie Hebdo, which suffered a terrorist attack in 2015, stirred controversy with its coverage of Tariq Ramadan, with a headline that associated him with the Sixth Pillar of Islam. It was brought up since jihad is the pillar that sustains this type of practice in Islam.

Where's the beef?

"Where's the beef?" is a catchphrase in the United States and Canada, introduced as a slogan for the fast food chain Wendy's in 1984. Since then it has become an all-purpose phrase questioning the substance of an idea, event, or product.

History
The phrase first came to the public audience in a U.S. television commercial for the Wendy's chain of hamburger restaurants in 1984. The strategy behind the campaign was to distinguish competitors' (McDonald's and Burger King) big name hamburgers (Big Mac and Whopper respectively) from Wendy's "modest" Single by focusing on the large bun used by the competitors and the larger beef patty in Wendy's hamburger. In the ad, titled "Fluffy Bun", actress Clara Peller receives a burger with a massive bun but a tiny patty from a fictional competitor, which uses the slogan "Home of the Big Bun". The small patty prompts Peller angrily to exclaim, "Where's the beef?" Director Joe Sedelmaier actually wanted Peller to say, "Where is all the beef?" but because of emphysema, that was too hard for her.

The commercial was originally supposed to star a young couple, but Sedelmaier did not find the concept funny and changed it to the elderly ladies.

An earlier version, featuring a middle-aged bald man saying, "Thanks, but where's the beef?", failed to make much impact. After the Peller version, the catchphrase was repeated in television shows, films, magazines, and other media outlets.

First airing in 1984, the original commercial featured three elderly ladies at the "Home of the Big Bun" examining an exaggeratedly large hamburger bun. The other two ladies poke at it, exchanging bemused comments ("It certainly is a big bun. It's a very big bun. It's a big fluffy bun. It's a very big fluffy—"). As one of the ladies lifts the top half of the bun, a comically minuscule hamburger patty with cheese and a pickle is revealed (prompting her to finish the sentence "—bun." with a much more disappointed tone). Peller immediately responds with her outraged, irascible question.

Sequels featured Peller yelling at a Fluffy Bun executive from his yacht over the phone and approaching fast food drive-up windows (including the "Home of the Big Bun" and a restaurant with a golden arch) that were slammed down before she could complete the line.

Later in 1984, Nashville songwriter and DJ Coyote McCloud wrote and performed a hit song entitled "Where's the Beef?" as a promotion for Wendy's restaurants' famous advertising campaign featuring Clara Peller.

The advertising campaign ended in 1985 after Peller performed in a commercial for Prego pasta sauce, saying "I found it, I really found it", a phrase alluding to the beef in the listener's mind.

There were many "Where's the beef?" promotional items, including bumper stickers, frisbees, clothing patches, a Milton Bradley game, and more.

In 2011, Wendy's revived the phrase for its new ad campaign, finally answering its own question with "Here's the beef".

During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States in 2020, when stores were experiencing a shortage of beef, Wendy's revived the ad.

To launch their new breakfast menu in Canada, Wendy's released a new advertisement campaign called "Where's the Bacon?" as a callback to the "Where's the Beef?". The new campaign is similar to its older counterpart, except it focuses on the amount of bacon in breakfast sandwiches rather than beef size.

For the 2023 Daytona 500, Legacy Motor Club driver Noah Gragson, sponsored by Wendy's, uses the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro carrying "The Beef" on the hood, and a video released by the team featured Gragson using the phrase in the promotional video.

Credits
William Welter, the executive vice president of Wendy's International, led the marketing team at the time of the campaign. The commercial was directed by Joe Sedelmaier as part of a campaign by the advertising agency Dancer Fitzgerald Sample. It was written by Cliff Freeman. The marketing and promotion campaign were created by Alan Hilburg and the Burson-Marsteller team under the direction of Denny Lynch, the vice president of corporate communications at Wendy's.

1984 Democratic presidential primaries
The phrase became associated with the 1984 United States presidential election. During primaries in the spring of 1984, when the commercial was at its height of popularity, Democratic candidate and former Vice President Walter Mondale used the phrase to sum up his arguments that program policies championed by his rival, Senator Gary Hart, were insubstantial, beginning with a March 11, 1984, televised debate at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta prior to the New York and Pennsylvania primaries.

Hart had moved his candidacy from dark horse to the lead over Mondale based on allegedly superficial similarities to John F. Kennedy, and his repeated use of the phrase "new ideas". When Hart once again used the slogan in the debate, Mondale leaned forward and said, "When I hear your new ideas, I'm reminded of that ad, 'Where's the beef? Subsequently, the two campaigns continually clashed using the two dueling slogans, Hart frequently showing reams of policy papers and retorting "Here's the beef." Mondale's strategy succeeded in casting doubt on Hart's new ideas, and changing the debate to specific details, earning him the Democratic presidential nomination.

Catchphrase

A catchphrase (alternatively spelled catch phrase) is a phrase or expression recognized by its repeated utterance. Such phrases often originate in popular culture and in the arts, and typically spread through word of mouth and a variety of mass media (such as films, internet, literature and publishing, television, and radio). Some become the de facto or literal "trademark" or "signature" of the person or character with whom they originated, and can be instrumental in the typecasting of a particular actor. Catchphrases are often humorous, but are never long enough or structured enough to be jokes in themselves. However, a catchphrase can be (or become) the punch line of a joke, or a callback reminder of a previous joke.

Culture
According to Richard Harris, a psychology professor at Kansas State University who studied why people like to cite films in social situations, using film quotes in everyday conversation is similar to telling a joke and a way to form solidarity with others. "People are doing it to feel good about themselves, to make others laugh, to make themselves laugh," he said. He found that all of the participants in his study had used film quotes in conversation at one point or another. "They overwhelmingly cited comedies, followed distantly by dramas and action adventure flicks." Horror films, musicals and children's films were hardly ever cited.

History
The existence of catchphrases predates modern mass media. A description of the phenomenon is found in Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds published by Charles Mackay in 1841:

"And, first of all, walk where we will, we cannot help hearing from every side a phrase repeated with delight, and received with laughter, by men with hard hands and dirty faces, by saucy butcher lads and errand-boys, by loose women, by hackney coachmen, cabriolet-drivers, and idle fellows who loiter at the corners of streets. Not one utters this phrase without producing a laugh from all within hearing. It seems applicable to every circumstance, and is the universal answer to every question; in short, it is the favourite slang phrase of the day, a phrase that, while its brief season of popularity lasts, throws a dash of fun and frolicsomeness over the existence of squalid poverty and ill-requited labour, and gives them reason to laugh as well as their more fortunate fellows in a higher stage of society."

Edit request "Early Life"
In 1993 he attended "The Chronic Tour" performed by Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg. He got the chance to get on stage & show off his rapping skills. As he was among the audience who were called to come to the stage, the enthusiastic boy eagerly displayed his rhyming skills in front of the crowd without any hesitation. Impressed by Snoop Dogg he was called backstage & he was offered the job to finish off the tour as the opening act. Snoop ended up giving him the name "Lil' Bow Wow". He was later signed to "Death Row Records". During that year Suge Knight gave him the chance to appear on the "Arsenio Hall Show" to show his skills to the world. He was on Snoop's debut album "Doggystyle" for a skit called "Betta Ask Somebody". He made a cameo in the video "Gin and Juice" as one of the kids jumping on the couch. He was set to have a song on the "Murder Was the Case" soundtrack but was denied due to his explicit language. He recorded more songs with the Death Row roster but were unreleased for the same reason. One his songs were released on the Death Row compilation "20 to Life: Vol. 1".

In 1998 he & his mother got a call from a representative of Epic Records to fly them out to Atlanta to meet Jermaine Dupri. One night while Jermaine Dupri was perfoming the song "Money Ain't a Thang" with Jay-Z, Bow Wow had asked Jermaine could he perform with them.

Bow Wow → Bow Wow (rapper) – Bow Wow (band) is a well known and highly influential band, well connected with hard rock, they get just a few more ghits  so it appears that there is no primary meaning. Therefore the DAB should be at Bow Wow and both the rapper and band disambiguated. See also Talk:Bow Wow (band). Andrewa (talk) 01:39, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Bow Wow (disambiguation) → Bow Wow

Survey

 * comment the rock band does not get more, since the search is faulty, as it gets alot of things not related to the band that is described in our article. 65.94.47.63 (talk) 02:24, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Agree they are pretty naive searches, with many extraneous ghits, but I thought (and still think) that they were adequate for the purpose. Being a bit more careful in searching for the rapper to try to exclude irrelevant ghits results in him getting even fewer ghits than does the band in your similarly revised search. Interested in any other comparisons. Andrewa (talk) 04:56, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Note also that what is proposed is not that the band is the primary topic, but that neither is. So it doesn't matter at all which gets more, what matters is that neither gets enough to suggest that it might be the primary topic. Andrewa (talk) 04:56, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, disambiguation seems best, the argument presented for it is not the best though. 65.94.47.63 (talk) 09:23, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support disambiguation, I still think of the rapper as Lil' Bow Wow. 65.94.47.63 (talk) 09:23, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support neither are enough to be the primary topic. Xfansd (talk) 16:12, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose Google search results are almost entirely faulty. I think they have a random number generator somewhere up at Google headquarters. Marcus   Qwertyus   01:09, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * An interesting claim, but is there any evidence that the rapper is the primary meaning? Surely, in the absence of any, we should default to the position that there isn't one, as proposed? Then the vexed issue of the validity of the interpretation of the google test (and I'm not entirely disagreeing with you, but I do note the almost entirely in your claim) doesn't come into it.

He was on Snoop's debut album "Doggystyle" for a skit called "Betta Ask Somebody". He made a cameo in the video "Gin & Juice" as one of the kids jumping on the couch. He was set to have a song on the "Murder Was the Case" soundtrack but was denied due to his explicit language. He recorded more songs with the Death Row roster but were unreleased for the same reason. One his songs were released on the Death Row compilation "20 to Life: Vol. 1". In 1998 he & his mother got a call from a representative of Epic Records to fly them out to Atlanta to meet Jermaine Dupri. One night while Jermaine Dupri was perfoming the song "Money Aint a Thang" with Jay-Z, Bow Wow had asked Jermaine could he perform with them. Hesitant at first he Jermaine let Bow Wow come out & perform with them.

There's no way Bow Wow is 5'7. Look him up online, he's about 5'3 to 5'4. Celeb Heights has him at 5'4. Here's a picture of him with 5'4 Jermaine Dupri. --Ultraforce47 (talk) 09:12, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Where in the article does it say he's 5'7"? It used to be in the infobox, but it was removed. Height of celebrities is a big debate unless most sources agree. I did a quick search and the most common answer I found was 5'7". Google itself says 5'7". This one and this one and this one also say 5'7". Others say 5'7" too. A couple say 5'4" or 5'5". But it really doesn't matter because height is sort of meaningless when it comes to an enyclopedia article for a rapper, singer, entertainer, etc. Unless maybe if they're extremely short or tall and it's part of their fame. That's why you shouldn't see it in any performer's article. If his fame was as an athlete, then it would matter. You're not established because your only edits are the three for your above comments. It looks like you've edited before, though, by the way you knew how to add those links. 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:ADF3:C706:1C77:4C80 (talk) 10:50, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Controvery tab
There's a whole section on this page for "Controversy", yet it's only for being maskless. Meanwhile, at the Superbowl earlier in 2022 between the Rams and Bengals, there were countless celebrities that showed up maskless. This occured while there was a mask mandate in California going on. These celebrities included Matt Damon, Chris Tucker, Ben Affleck, LeBron James, Charlize Theron and Jennifer Lopez. Along with many more. This information is available online to anyone with a simple Google search. Yet none of their pages have a "Controversy" tab like this page does. None of their pages mention that they were maskless in public as well as Bow Wow. So I'm not sure why this page mentions how he was maskless, yet the pages of other celebrities don't mention it. I think this page should either get rid of the "Controversy" tab, or else add it to the pages of other celebrities who have done the same thing. 2600:6C40:7F3F:B400:A07F:2C75:B49:F327 (talk) 20:13, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

List of battles of the Mexican–American War

The battles of the Mexican–American War include all major engagements and most reported skirmishes, including Thornton's Defeat, the Battle of Palo Alto, and the Battle of Resaca de la Palma, which took place prior to the official start of hostilities.

Background
The Mexican–American War lasted from 1846 until 1848. It grew out of unresolved border disputes between the Republic of Texas and Mexico after the United States annexed Texas nine years after the Texas Revolution. It ended in 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in which Mexico was forced to sell a vast tract of land that amounted to almost half its national territory to the United States.

Andrew Motion

Sir Andrew Motion (born 26 October 1952) is an English poet, novelist, and biographer, who was Poet Laureate from 1999 to 2009. During the period of his laureateship, Motion founded the Poetry Archive, an online resource of poems and audio recordings of poets reading their own work. In 2012, he became President of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, taking over from Bill Bryson.

Early life
Motion was born on 26 October 1952 in London, to (Andrew) Richard Michael Motion (1921-2006), a brewer at Ind Coope, and (Catherine) Gillian (née Bakewell; 1928–1978). Richard Motion was from a brewing dynasty; his grandfather founded Taylor Walker, but this had been absorbed by Ind Coope by Richard Motion's time. The Motion family were wealthy armigers who lived at Upton House, Banbury, Oxfordshire, and were prominent in the local area; Richard Motion's grandfather Andrew Richard Motion was a Justice of the Peace for Essex, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire, who had worked his way up from being a brewery labourer in the East End of London to ownership of his own successful brewery. When his children had grown up and married, he sold the Upton House estate and went to live at Stisted Hall, in Essex.

When Motion was 12 years old, the family moved to Glebe House at Stisted, near Braintree in Essex, where Richard Motion's grandparents had previously lived at Stisted Hall, by that time converted into a home for the elderly. Motion went to boarding school from the age of seven joined by his younger brother. Most of his friends were from the school and so when Motion was in the village, he spent a lot of time on his own. He began to have an interest and affection for the countryside, and he went for walks with a pet dog. Later he went to Radley College, where, in the sixth form, he encountered Peter Way, an inspiring English teacher who introduced him to poetry – first Hardy, then Philip Larkin, W. H. Auden, Heaney, Hughes, Wordsworth and Keats.

When Motion was 17 years old, his mother had a horse-riding accident and suffered a serious head injury requiring a lifesaving neurosurgery operation. She regained some speech, but she was severely paralysed and remained in and out of coma for nine years. She died in 1978 and her husband died of cancer in 2006. Motion has said that he wrote to keep his memory of his mother alive. When Motion was about 18 years old, he moved away from the village to study English at University College, Oxford; however, since then he has remained in contact with the village to visit the church graveyard, where his parents are buried, and also to see his brother, who lives nearby. At University he studied at weekly sessions with W. H. Auden, whom he greatly admired. Motion won the university's Newdigate Prize and graduated with a first class honours degree. This was followed by an MLitt on the poetry of Edward Thomas.

Career
Between 1976 and 1980, Motion taught English at the University of Hull and while there, at age 24, he had his first volume of poetry published. At Hull he met the university librarian and poet Philip Larkin. Motion was later appointed as one of Larkin's literary executors, which would privilege Motion's role as his biographer following Larkin's death in 1985. In Philip Larkin: A Writer's Life, Motion says that at no time during their nine-year friendship did they discuss writing his biography and it was Larkin's longtime companion Monica Jones who requested it. He reports how, as executor, he rescued many of Larkin's papers from imminent destruction following his friend's death. His 1993 biography of Larkin, which won the Whitbread Prize for Biography, was responsible for bringing about a substantial revision of Larkin's reputation.

Motion was editorial director and poetry editor at Chatto & Windus (1983–89); he edited the Poetry Society's Poetry Review from 1980 to 1982 and succeeded Malcolm Bradbury as professor of creative writing at the University of East Anglia. He is now on the faculty at the Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars.

Laureateship
Motion was appointed Poet Laureate on 1 May 1999, following the death of Ted Hughes, the previous incumbent. The Nobel Prize-winning Northern Irish poet and translator Seamus Heaney had ruled himself out for the post. Breaking with the tradition of the laureate retaining the post for life, Motion stipulated that he would stay for only ten years. The yearly stipend of £200 was increased to £5,000 and he received the customary butt of sack. He wanted to write "poems about things in the news, and commissions from people or organisations involved with ordinary life," rather than be seen a 'courtier'. So, he wrote "for the TUC about liberty, about homelessness for the Salvation Army, about bullying for ChildLine, about the foot and mouth outbreak for the Today programme, about the Paddington rail disaster, the 11 September attacks and Harry Patch for the BBC, and more recently about shell shock for the charity Combat Stress, and climate change for the song cycle he finished for Cambridge University with Peter Maxwell Davies."

On 14 March 2002, as part of the 'Re-weaving Rainbows' event of National Science Week 2002, Motion unveiled a blue plaque on the front wall of 28 St Thomas Street, Southwark, to commemorate the sharing of lodgings there by John Keats and Henry Stephens while they were medical students at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital in 1815–16.

In 2003, Motion wrote Regime change, a poem in protest at the Invasion of Iraq from the point of view of Death walking the streets during the conflict, and in 2005, Spring Wedding in honour of the wedding of the Prince of Wales to Camilla Parker Bowles. Commissioned to write in the honour of 109-year-old Harry Patch, the last surviving "Tommy" to have fought in World War I, Motion composed a five-part poem, read and received by Patch at the Bishop's Palace in Wells in 2008.

As laureate, he also founded the Poetry Archive, an on-line library of historic and contemporary recordings of poets reciting their own work.

Motion remarked that he found some of the duties attendant to the post of poet laureate difficult and onerous and that the appointment had been "very, very damaging to [his] work". The appointment of Motion met with criticism from some quarters. As he prepared to stand down from the job, Motion published an article in The Guardian that concluded, "To have had 10 years working as laureate has been remarkable. Sometimes it's been remarkably difficult, the laureate has to take a lot of flak, one way or another. More often it has been remarkably fulfilling. I'm glad I did it, and I'm glad I'm giving it up – especially since I mean to continue working for poetry."

Motion spent his last day as Poet Laureate holding a creative writing class at his alma mater, Radley College, before giving a poetry reading and thanking Peter Way, the man who taught him English at Radley, for making him who he was. Carol Ann Duffy succeeded him as Poet Laureate on 1 May 2009.

Post-laureateship
Motion is chairman of the Arts Council of England's literature panel (appointed 1996) and is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. In 2003, he became professor of creative writing at Royal Holloway, University of London. Since July 2009, Motion has been Chairman of the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) appointed by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. He is also a vice-president of the Friends of the British Library, a charity which provides funding support to the British Library. He was knighted in the 2009 Queen's Birthday Honours list. He has been a member of English Heritage's Blue Plaques Panel since 2008.

Motion was selected as jury chair for the Man Booker Prize 2010  and in March 2010, he announced that he was working with publishers Jonathan Cape on a sequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Entitled Silver, the story is set a generation on from the original book and was published in March 2012. In July 2010, Motion returned to Kingston-upon-Hull for the annual Humber Mouth literature festival and taking part in the Larkin 25 festival commemorating the 25th anniversary of Philip Larkin's death. In his capacity as Larkin's biographer and as a former lecturer in English at the University of Hull, Motion named an East Yorkshire Motor Services bus Philip Larkin. Motion's debut play Incoming, about the war in Afghanistan, premièred at the High Tides Festival in Halesworth, Suffolk in May 2011. Motion also featured in Jamie's Dream School in 2011 as the poetry teacher.

In June 2012, he became the President of the Campaign to Protect Rural England. In March 2014 he was elected an Honorary Fellow at Homerton College, Cambridge.

Motion won the 2015 Ted Hughes Award for new work in poetry for the radio programme Coming Home. The production featured poetry by Motion based on recordings he made of British soldiers returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2017 Motion moved to Baltimore, Maryland to take up a post at the Writing Seminars as a Homewood Professor of the Arts at Johns Hopkins University.

Work
Motion has said of himself: "My wish to write a poem is inseparable from my wish to explain something to myself." His work combines lyrical and narrative aspects in a "postmodern-romantic sensibility". Motion says that he aims to write in clear language without tricks.

The Independent describes the stalwart poet as the "charming and tireless defender of the art form". Motion has won the Arvon Prize, the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, Eric Gregory Award, Whitbread Prize for Biography and the Dylan Thomas Prize.

Motion took part in the Bush Theatre's 2011 project Sixty-Six Books, writing and performing a piece based upon a book of the King James Bible.

Personal life
Motion's marriage to Joanna Powell ended in 1983. He was married to Jan Dalley from 1985 to 2009, divorcing after a seven-year separation. They had one son born in 1986 and twins, a son and a daughter, born in 1988. In 2010 he married Kyeong-Soo Kim. He currently lives part of the year in Baltimore, Maryland, in the United States.
