Masashi Hamauzu

Masashi Hamauzu (浜渦 正志) is a Japanese composer, pianist, and lyricist. Hamauzu, who was employed at Square Enix from 1996 to 2010, was best known during that time for his work on the Final Fantasy and SaGa video game series. Born into a musical family in Germany, Hamauzu was raised in Japan. He became interested in music while in kindergarten, and took piano lessons from his parents.

Hamauzu was hired by Square as a trainee, and his debut as a solo composer came the following year when he scored Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon. He has collaborated with friend and fellow composer Junya Nakano on several games.

After Nobuo Uematsu left Square Enix in 2004, Hamauzu took over as the leading composer of the company's music team. He was the sole composer for Final Fantasy XIII. He has also become a renowned pianist, arranging for several other composers. His music incorporates various styles, although he often uses classical and ambience in his pieces. In 2010, Hamauzu left Square Enix to start his own studio, MONOMUSIK.

Early life
Born in Munich, Germany, Hamauzu's mother was a piano teacher and his father, Akimori Hamauzu, an opera singer. He developed an interest in music while in kindergarten. Hamauzu grew up in Germany and started to receive piano and singing lessons from his parents at very young age, and when he was in high school, he composed his first original music piece. After his brother, Hiroshi, was born, the family moved to Osaka. He enrolled in the Tokyo University of the Arts, where he joined a student ensemble as a pianist. Hamauzu met his wife, Matsue Hamauzu (née Fukushi), at the university, and they have two children. Matsue worked alongside Hamauzu on the soundtrack to Final Fantasy VII as a soprano and Sigma Harmonics as a scat singer; she was also a soprano for the score to Final Fantasy VIII & a lead vocalist in Final Fantasy XIII. After graduating from the university, he thought about becoming a classical musician, but he eventually found out that he wanted to work with game music instead.

Career
A fan of the Final Fantasy games, Hamauzu decided to apply for a job at Square, where Nobuo Uematsu hired him as a trainee in 1996. His debut project was Front Mission: Gun Hazard with Uematsu, Yasunori Mitsuda, and Junya Nakano. Later the same year, he created four tracks for another multi-composer game, Tobal No. 1. Working with Nakano on these games, Hamauzu admired his musical style, and they became friends; they have later collaborated on several titles. Hamauzu's first solo project came in 1997 with Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon. Shortly after the title's release, Hamauzu and Yasuo Sako created Chocobo no Fushigina Dungeon Coi Vanni Gialli, an arranged album containing orchestral tracks from the game's music. Both the soundtrack and Coi Vanni Gialli were praised. For Final Fantasy VII, Hamauzu was the synthesizer programmer for the rendition of Joseph Haydn's "The Creation", and provided bass vocals in the eight-person chorus for "One-Winged Angel".

In 1999, Hamauzu was assigned with scoring SaGa Frontier 2. He spent some time conforming to the music Kenji Ito had established for the series before realizing that he wanted to use his own unique style. The project introduced him to synthesizer programmer Ryo Yamazaki, whom he has worked with on most of his subsequent soundtracks. Hamauzu also released Piano Pieces "SF2" ~ Rhapsody on a Theme of SaGa Frontier 2, an arranged album featuring piano pieces of the game's music. In 2001, Hamauzu and Nakano were chosen to assist Uematsu in the production of the score for the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy X, based on their ability to create music that was different from Uematsu's style. Hamauzu also contributed the Piano Collections arranged album of the game, which he described as his most challenging work, and the track named "feel", an arrangement of "Hymn of the Fayth", from the EP feel/Go dream: Yuna & Tidus.

In 2002, Hamauzu composed the music for Unlimited Saga, a game that would be received negatively by critics due to a variety of gameplay issues. After Uematsu’s departure from Square Enix in 2004, he took over as the lead composer of the company’s music team. He incorporates various styles of music in his compositions, though most of the tune he uses classical and ambient tones in his pieces. In 2005, Hamauzu, Nakano, and the duo Wavelink Zeal (Takayuki and Yuki Iwai) scored Musashi: Samurai Legend, the sequel to the 1998 title Brave Fencer Musashi. Hamauzu composed the highly anticipated but critically unsuccessful Final Fantasy VII follow-up, Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII, in 2006. Later the same year, he arranged the Sailing to the World Piano Score at the request of Mitsuda. The album was well received by fans, and helped confirm Hamauzu's position as a leading piano arranger of video game music.

Hamauzu released a solo album, Vielen Dank, in 2007 after recording it in Munich, Germany. The album includes eleven piano pieces that he composed for personal pleasure after the creation of Piano Pieces "SF2" ~ Rhapsody on a Theme of SaGa Frontier 2 as well as 14 arrangements of his game compositions. Two tracks from the album were performed at the 2007 Symphonic Game Music Concert in Leipzig. In 2008, he composed the soundtrack to Sigma Harmonics, with synthesizer programming by Mitsuto Suzuki rather than Yamazaki. At the 2006 E3 event, a Square Enix press conference revealed that Hamauzu would be returning to the Final Fantasy series, scoring Final Fantasy XIII. He left Square Enix on January 19, 2010. He went on to form his own studio, Monomusik, which he described as a personal studio that did not include any other composers. Despite leaving Square Enix, Hamauzu was still hired to score various games by the company, including Final Fantasy XIII-2, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, World of Final Fantasy, and the high definition version of Final Fantasy X. Outside of the Final Fantasy series, Hamauzu also wrote music for games such as Half-Minute Hero: The Second Coming, The Legend of Legacy, and The Alliance Alive in the 2010s. He contributed arrangements to the Across the Worlds ~ Chrono Cross Wayô Piano Collection album alongside Akio Noguchi and Mariam Abounnasr.

Musical style and influences
Hamauzu composes music in a wide variety of styles, often using multiple styles throughout the various pieces of a soundtrack. He mostly creates classical and ambient music, and uses the piano predominantly as an instrument. He frequently uses dissonance to provide an atmospheric effect. In Unlimited Saga, for example, the style of his compositions mix classical marches, tango music, electronic ambiance, instrumental solos, bossa nova, and jazz.

He cites animation composers Hiroshi Miyagawa and Ryuichi Sakamoto of Yellow Magic Orchestra and his father as major musical influences. During his adolescence, he enjoyed listening to the works of Miyagawa and Sakamoto. While attending university, he developed an appreciation for classical music, especially the compositions of Ravel and Debussy.

Mean center of the United States population

The mean center of the United States population is determined by the United States Census Bureau from the results of each national census. The Bureau defines it as follows:

After moving roughly 600 miles west by south during the 19th century, the shift in the mean center of population during the 20th century was less pronounced, moving 324 miles west and 101 miles south. Nearly 79% of the overall southerly movement happened between 1950 and 2000.

One occasional confusion is the misconception that the point splits the US population into two equal halves, such that half of Americans live east of the point, and the other half west of it, however, this is actually a property of the median center of US population, which is not weighted by geographic distance and lies in Gibson County, Indiana.

Talk:Donald Rumsfeld

Why does Wolfgang Kaleck redirect here?
Probably because he too was suspected to be a lizard?

Civil actions
On March 1, 2005, the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights First filed a lawsuit against Rumsfeld in a federal court in Illinois on behalf of eight detainees who they say were subjected to torture and abuse by U.S. forces. A federal judge dismissed the charges against Rumsfeld, citing the legal precedent that U.S. Government officials cannot be held personally responsible for actions committed while in office.

On December 18, 2006, U.S. citizen Donald Vance filed suit against Rumsfeld and the U.S. government alleging illegal incarceration and torture he endured in Iraq, including violation of habeas corpus rights. Vance, a former U.S. Navy sailor, went to Iraq as a civilian security-contractor for Shield Group Security (SGS). When Vance felt he was in grave danger, U.S. forces retrieved him from the Red Zone, but subsequently detained him without charges for 97 days at Camp Cropper. As of early 2008, the case had not proceeded past the evidentiary stage.

Criminal charges sought
A group of activists spearheaded by the U.S.-based Center for Constitutional Rights has sought to bring criminal charges against Rumsfeld twice in Germany. , at least once in France , Sweden and Argentina, and has indicated an intention to do so in Spain. . The accusation is of command responsibility for alleged human rights violations committed by American forces under his direction against detainees in the War on Terrorism, or of giving improper legal advice leading to the same. The activists have also pursued former CIA Director George Tenet; Attorney General Alberto Gonzales; Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, then-Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Stephen Cambone; former Assistant Attorneys General Jay Bybee and John Yoo, lawyers William James Haynes II and David Addington, and numerous lower-ranking military officers. The suits in Germany and France were rejected by local prosecutors.

Manfred Nowak, the special representative on torture at the UN Commission on Human Rights stated in January 2009 that Donald Rumsfeld and others should be prosecuted for war crimes due to their approval of the interrogation methods used on prisoners at the USA military base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

This is an interesting fact
Not necessary going to go to the front page, but gosh, thats a tad insane

Mr Rumsfeld was sent a careful, conscientious 900-page report by the state department containing detailed plans for the post-invasion period. He reportedly dumped it, unopened, straight into his waste-paper basket.

Women Writers Project

The Women Writers Project, or WWP, is a long-term research and digital publication project within the field of feminist digital humanities that makes texts from early modern women writers in the English language available online through electronic text encoding. Since 1999, WWP has maintained Women Writers Online, an electronic collection of rare or difficult to obtain works written or co-authored by women from the early modern period. It is currently housed within the Northeastern University Library’s Digital Scholarship Group.

History
WWP was founded in 1986 by English faculty members at Brown University and literary scholars from other institutions, but those involved were discussing the project as early as 1984. The project was initially created to address the lack of access to early English women writers before the Victorian era and promote new research on the recovered writings. Scholars combined research and analysis strategies from early modern women’s studies and newly-emerging electronic text encoding computational methods to display and disseminate women's writing for new interpretations.

One of WWP's earliest transcriptions was a 15-volume series "Women Writers in English, 1350–1850," completed in collaboration with Oxford University Press, which were released in print and for electronic use.

In 1993, with the publication of the expanded Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) guidelines, the WWP began a three-year period of research on how to use the new guidelines to represent early women's texts. During this time, few new texts were added to the collection, but a new set of encoding methods and improved systems of documentation were implemented, as well as intensive training for those working on the project.

From 1996 onwards, new texts were once again encoded with the new TEI standards. In 1997, WWP received a $400,000 grant over three years from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to develop "Renaissance Women Online." The project studied the impact of electronic texts on teaching and research. The project included the creation of introductory materials for 100 texts, currently constituting a sub-collection of WWO. In 1999, WWO was released online.

In 2013 the WWP moved from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, to Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts.

Women Writers Online
Women Writers Online, or WWO, is the digital collection of early English women's writing ranging from 1526 to 1850 maintained by WWP. As of 23 October 2023, the textbase contains more than 450 individual works. Viewing and usage of the texts are available only to individuals or institutions with paid subscriptions. Information about the textbase, such as document metadata, encoding practices, funding records, are freely accessible. The WWP offers a free month-long trial, and the textbase is usually open-access for the month of March, in honor of Women's History Month.

The focus of the corpus is currently on hard to find or generally inaccessible texts from both well known and more obscure writers. Within this focus is a sizeable collection of religious writing from the Renaissance as well as works of early fiction, drama, and political commentary. Digitized writers include, among many others:
 * Anna Laetitia Barbauld
 * Aphra Behn
 * Margaret Cavendish
 * Queen Elizabeth I
 * Margaret Fell
 * Felicia Hemans
 * Catherine Parr
 * Mary Sidney
 * Mary Wollstonecraft

Digital tools
In March 2012, the WWP released a new interface for WWO that expanded user's search capabilities.

WWO uses digital humanities theory and practice to solicit new interpretations of genre and form within feminist, literary, and digital humanities fields. Queries are entered into the textbase's search interface to find occurrences or relevant tagged texts, and these can be further sorted and analyzed using "keyword-in-context" (KWIC) or "Gobbet" display options. Users can toggle between a broader display and "reader mode," as well as situate the writing on a time slider for historical and literary context.

Resources and outreach
Since 2004, WWP has hosted several text encoding workshops and seminars held throughout the year for various skill levels. In March 2011, WWP held their first seminar on XSL Transformations (XSLT) at Brown University.

From 2008 to 2011, the WWP also hosted an annual conference titled Women in the Archives in collaboration with the Sarah Doyle Women's Center and several other groups at Brown University. The opening seminar held on 22 March, 2008, titled Revealing Women, introduced the seminar series as an exploration of how archived writings of early English women shaped the approach to research and pedagogy on the subject.

September 2012, then-director Julia Flanders delivered a presentation at the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities discussing the support available for educators and researchers new to XML technologies and TEI encoding through the TEI Archiving, Publishing, and Access Service (TAPAS).

In addition to the Women Writers Online collection, the WWP also offers some public resources helpful for researchers and teachers interested in early modern women writers. These include orientations for getting the most out of researching within the online collection, possible assignments that take advantage of the online user interface, and syllabi submitted by professors that incorporate the online texts and focus on courses in Renaissance and early modern literature, women's studies, and related subjects.

Thank you!!! Raina 198.81.26.102

Please help. I have contributed previously to today, but there is a bit of confusion. Wikipedia lists me as 198.81.26.102. Please attribute my changes in articles to me -- Raina. U.S.A. Thank you!

Hi, would someone please attribute my previous contributions as 80.238.41.182 to my new current identity, Alien-D (Wikipedia France) Thanks !

Please attribute contributions from this IP address to KRS- if possible all, otherwise specifically the edits of Indian writing in English, Indian Writing in English and Indian architecture 203.197.138.163 03:45, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC) I should add, till now, because it is possible that someone else will start editing from here in future, though not in the near future:-)203.197.138.163 05:08, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Didn't know whether I was supposed to log in or not, so please consider the above as coming from me KRS 03:47, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)

 * It's probably better with one logged in and one logged out, otherwise anonymous users would be able to attribute controversial comments to unaware Wikipedians. I'll also make a log of fulfilled requests, to further prevent that eventuality. -- Tim Starling 04:04, Oct 15, 2003 (UTC)

 * Done, after a minor accident involving this query: "update cur set cur_user_text='KRS' and cur_user=16685 where cur_user_text='203.197.138.163' and cur_user=0 limit 6;". Hint to other developers: don't do that. -- Tim Starling 06:23, Oct 15, 2003 (UTC)

 * Yes, that's me - 66.134.157.122 is Jredmond. -- 66.134.157.122 15:46, 31 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Please attribute all edits currently attributed to 12.75.152.51 to me, O. Pen Sauce. My ISP has dynamic IP's, but hopefully this one will be close enough to confirm I'm me!

Ok, O. Pen Sauce (hokey name, I know) here. Thanks, guys! Wikipedia rules. Really happy to participate.

 * Hi - would it be possible to attribute the edit by this IP to the George William Forbes article to me, User:Vardion? Not any of the others by this IP, though - they're not mine. If it's not possible to change the attribution of just one edit, there's no need to bother - it's not important. Thanks.
 * Confirming -- Vardion 11:32, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
 * Forgot to mention the IP I was using in the message itself - maybe it doesn't matter, since it can be found out in the history, but I'll sign it here anyway. Sorry. -- 203.97.2.242 11:34, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * This is the last one, I promise! 142.150.5.59 18:23, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot, I'm trying to consolidate. silsor 18:24, Nov 20, 2003 (UTC)

 * Can you please attribute the edits made User:216.103.211.240 to me? That's my static IP address (since I started editing Wikipedia, at least).  Thanks!  216.103.211.240 23:50, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC) and Daniel Quinlan 05:38, Dec 7, 2003 (UTC)

 * Kosebamse private request -- Tim Starling 23:33, Nov 18, 2003 (UTC)

 * User:65.93.26.241 and User:65.93.24.204 should be User:Adam Bishop, and therefore this edit should be 65.93.2x.xxx or something. 65.93.27.90 23:54, 6 Dec 2003 (UTC)
 * And indeed it is! Adam Bishop 23:55, 6 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * Hi, would someone please attribute my previous contributions as 168.150.238.72 to my current identity, 168...? Thanks...

 * Please change attribution of all articles from 24.130.26.116 to my name when properly logged in, Tempshill. Thanks.
 * Confirmed. Tempshill 06:24, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * And, while we're at it, please also change attribution of all articles from 66.153.56.194 to my name when properly logged in, Tempshill. Thanks again.
 * Confirmed again. Tempshill 18:22, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)

 * This is also a pending request. Please do tell me what is necessary to prove for this being done; Since I deeply believe in fairness, and feel I should not be told I made something illegal when other people do it all the time, I would like to request that I be given back the attribution of an article. I wrote most of the article on Genetically modified food. User:Graft decided half of the article should be to another page, which I disagreed with. Since I disagreed with that move, User:Graft did it himself, under his user name, without any comment about who authored that part, and without any comment on where that content came from. So he now appears to be the principal author of that page. I would like that the initial move appear to have been done by me, not by Graft, or that a comment be added to mention either my name, or more wisely that the comment box indicate the name of the article it originated from perhaps ? The article in question is Trade war over genetically modified food. Graft indicated the move in the original article 20:34, 17 Jun 2003 . . Graft (moving trade war to new article). Thanks in advance. Anthère 4 dec 2003
 * Done -- Tim Starling 06:50, Dec 13, 2003 (UTC)

 * Please have my name changed to LGagnon, with all of my contributions (and watchlist, if possible) switched to that name. My name was not meant to offend, but for safety sake I think it would be best to change it. (Btw, I've already created the username.) -- sofa
 * Yes, I know you've already created the username, that's why I passed you by when I did the two other requests yesterday. The ordinary name change script won't work when the target username already exists. Instead, I've got to work out the best way to do it. I'm pretty sure I can just delete the target username and then run the original script. -- Tim Starling 23:33, Nov 26, 2003 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm nagging, but I made my request about half a month ago and still haven't got it. If there is any trouble with deleting the target name, I could suggest a different one to use. -- sofa 14:57, Dec 13, 2003

I, User:Psychonaut, edited the article on Saskatchewan on 10:34, 28 May 2003 from IP 80.244.97.71, before I had registered.

And here is my confirmation, now that I'm logged in...

 * Psychonaut, I'm afraid the IP address used for Saskatchewan (gprs21.vodafone.hu) doesn't match the address you just used to make this request (dfki-2002.dfki.uni-kl.de). Do you still have access to the former ISP? -- Tim Starling 12:29, Jan 22, 2004 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't. I moved from Budapest to Kaiserslautern in August, so I no longer have access to the old Hungarian ISP. --Psychonaut Thu Jan 29 10:26:36 CET 2004

 * So, like, will I ever get this attribution changed? If it helps at all to prove that it's really me, you can observe my expertise on things Saskatchewanian in my recently-published articles on Colin and Ross Thatcher.  How many other Wikipedians using a Hungarian host are likely to have corrected an obscure error in an article on an obscure Canadian province? :) —Psychonaut 22:19, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)

 * Sorry Psychonaut, but I haven't got the time to go through everyone's edit history comparing behaviours, trying to judge if they are the same person. This service was always intended to be limited to people who can reasonably prove their identity by technical means. -- Tim Starling 04:18, Mar 14, 2004 (UTC)

Green Carnation

Green Carnation is a Norwegian progressive metal band from Kristiansand, formed in 1990. Green Carnation's trend of music has continuously changed on every release one by one; from straight forward death metal in their demo, to death-doom, then a progressive doom metal sound, to an atmospheric gothic metal sound, to a melancholic hard rock sound and in 2006, went as far as to releasing an entirely acoustic album Acoustic Verses. The band released its first album in 14 years titled Leaves of Yesteryear on May 8, 2020, which marked a return to their earlier gothic progressive metal roots. A new single was composed, arranged, rehearsed and they were went on to record “The World Without a View” during the COVID-19 pandemic, "The World Without a View" was released digitally on December 18, 2020.

Formation and early years (1990–2001)
Green Carnation is the creation of former Emperor bass player Terje Vik Schei (a.k.a. Tchort), founded before Tchort joined Emperor in 1990. It eventually split, with the remaining members X-Botteri, Cm:Botteri and Anders Kobro creating avant-garde metal band In the Woods....

Green Carnation's first album, Journey to the End of the Night, was not recorded until 1998 and was released in October 2000 through German record company Prophecy Productions. The release was a folk inspired doom metal album. The Botteri brothers, Alf Tore Rasmussen, and Geir Solli left the band after recording the debut album, and then Anders Kobro from In The Woods... joined up with Tchort. Together, they spent nearly two years making the foundational arrangements for what eventually became Light of Day, Day of Darkness, a single track, 60-minute progressive metal epic which is one of the longest single songs in metal. They then did a pre-production in the studio with Tchort on guitar, Kobro on drums, and Endre Kirkesola on bass. This was enough to convince guitarist Bjørn Harstad, also of In The Woods..., to join the band in time for the final recording of the album, accompanied by Stein Roger Sordal on bass, Kjetil Nordhus on vocals, and Bernt Moen of Shining on keyboards. Light of Day, Day of Darkness was released in 2001 via Prophecy Productions in Europe, while the US release was handled by The End Records.

Genre branching and new identity (2001–2006)
Following this release, the band released their 2003 full-length album A Blessing in Disguise through French record label Season Of Mist. The album consisted of a blend of progressive metal/rock elements, slightly gothic tinges, and hard rock elements and brought the band into another musical terrain. Bjørn Harstad left the band after the recording of A Blessing, a decision he made due to his other work commitments. Unfortunately Bernt Moen also decided to quit the band due to obligations with other artists and solo projects after the Blessing in Disguise tour of 2003.

Two years later the band followed up with the album The Quiet Offspring, introducing Kenneth Silden on keyboard and Michael Krumins on guitar. The album was released through Season Of Mist in Europe and The End Records in the US. This album brought the band into an even more hard-rock style of music and is seen by many to be their most commercial-sounding release. At this point, they made the decision to replace Anders Kobro with drummer Tommy Jackson (Jacksonville). Jacksonville was a natural choice since he had been a long-time friend and partner of Stein Sordal's other projects, Soxpan, Sordal and Plutho ++). Later in 2005, the band released an EP entitled The Burden Is Mine... Alone. This EP marked the debut of bassist/guitarist Stein Roger Sordal as a lead vocalist in the band, with the song that shares the name of the EP and the song was written and performed entirely by him. Drummer Tommy Jacksonville also debuted as songwriter and lyricist on the EP. He wrote the song "Transparent Me" for the album. This release also worked as a taste of what was to come with their following full-length album.

Early 2006 marked the release of their fifth full-length Acoustic Verses. This album was yet another stylistic shift for the band. On the album, the band played all acoustic instruments, showing off a softer, warmer style for the band while retaining the progressive and darker feels they established since their debut.

Hiatus (2007–2014)
According to Tchort's writings in the booklet to Acoustic Verses, Green Carnation's next studio release was going to be the second part of "The Chronicles of Doom" trilogy, which began with Light of Day, Day of Darkness, and is going to be titled The Rise and Fall of Mankind.

In February 2007 Green Carnation recorded their second live DVD, A Night Under the Dam, where they played the entire Acoustic Verses album as well as a few other songs. The DVD was recorded under a 30-meter-tall dam in the Norwegian mountains and was the last release to be seen by the band's current line-up.

On August 17, 2007, Tchort announced that due to the poorly organized American tour and subsequent financial and motivational losses, the line up of Green Carnation had split up. . He stated that he would "'continue writing music under the name Green Carnation, but probably will never play live again with the band.'" The expected album, The Rise and Fall of Mankind, has been postponed with no current release date, but Tchort has said that the album will be released sometime in the future. However, the announced album title was eventually discarded for unknown reasons after the group's long break.

Reunion (2014–present)
On February 20, 2014, the band members announced that they would reunite for a second version of A Night Under the Dam on July 31, 2014 ). In the same press release, they further announced their availability for festivals and shows. A short documentary about the reunion show has been released on the Norwegian website Eternal-Terror.

On September 10, 2016, Green Carnation made its debut at ProgPower USA (PPUSA) at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia. The band played "Light of Day, Day of Darkness" in its entirety to a sold-out venue. This performance received rave reviews and many claim it to be one of the best performances ever, at PPUSA.

On August 24, 2018, the group released their third live album Last Day of Darkness on DVD/CD format under the Prophecy Productions label. The show was recorded at the Kilden Centre, Kristiansand on November 26, 2016.

The band announced the recording of their first album in 14 years titled Leaves of Yesteryear. On March 5, 2020, was released the title track as a music video and a single for digital download. On May 6, 2020, the band did a live listening party via YouTube to introduce the world to their sixth studio album.

Finally, Leaves of Yesteryear was released on May 8, 2020, via Season of Mist and produced by Green Carnation and Endre Kirkesola. The album was recorded and mixed by Endre Kirkesola. The mastering was done by mastering engineer Maor Appelbaum.

On November 13, 2020, the band released the single "The World Without a View", only available as a streaming video and digital download via Season of Mist. The song was since released digitally on December 18, 2020.

Khabur (Euphrates)

The Khabur River is the largest perennial tributary to the Euphrates in Syria. Although the Khabur originates in Turkey, the karstic springs around Ras al-Ayn are the river's main source of water. Several important wadis join the Khabur north of Al-Hasakah, together creating what is known as the Khabur Triangle, or Upper Khabur area. From north to south, annual rainfall in the Khabur basin decreases from over 400 mm to less than 200 mm. This has made the river a vital water source for agriculture throughout history. The Khabur joins the Euphrates near the town of Busayrah.

Geography
The course of the Khabur can be divided in two distinct zones: the Upper Khabur area or Khabur Triangle north of Al-Hasakah, and the Middle and Lower Khabur between Al-Hasakah and Busayrah.

Tributaries
The tributaries to the Khabur are listed from east to west. Most of these wadis only carry water for part of the year.
 * Wadi Radd
 * Wadi Khnezir
 * Wadi Jarrah
 * Jaghjagh River
 * Wadi Khanzir
 * Wadi Avedji

History
The river was well noted by ancient writers, with various names used by various writers: Ptolemy and Pliny the Elder called it the Chaboras (Χαβώρας), Procopius called it the Chabura, Strabo, Zosimus, and Ammianus Marcellinus called it the Aborrhas (Ἀβόρρας), and Isidore of Charax called it the Aburas (Ἀβούρας). It was described as a large river of Mesopotamia which rose in Mons Masius, about 40 miles from Nisibis, and flowed into the Euphrates at Circesium (Kerkesiah). Procopius speaks of it as a river of importance, and Ammianus states that Julian the Apostate crossed it "per navalem Aborae pontem". Strabo describes it as near the town of Anthemusias.

The river is fed by several smaller streams, the names of which are mentioned in the later classical writers. These are, the Scirtus (Procop. de Aedif. 2.7), the Cordes (Procop. de Aedif. 2.2), and the Mygdonius (Julian. Or. i.).

Ptolemy (5.18.6) mentions a town called Chabora (Χαβώρα), on the Euphrates, which he places near Nicephorion, and which probably derives its name from the river, and Theophylact Simocatta mentions Ἀβορέων φρούριον, which is, as certainly, the same place.

Since the 1930s, numerous archaeological excavations and surveys have been carried out in the Khabur Valley, indicating that the region has been occupied since the Lower Palaeolithic period. Important sites that have been excavated include Tell Halaf, Tell Brak, Tell Leilan, Tell Mashnaqa, Tell Mozan and Tell Barri. The region has given its name to a distinctive painted ware found in northern Mesopotamia and Syria in the early 2nd millennium BCE, called Khabur ware. The region of the Khabur River is also associated with the rise of the Kingdom of the Mitanni that flourished c. 1500–1300 BC.

The Khabur River is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible: "Tiglath-Pileser ... took the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh into exile. He took them to Halah, Habor (Khabur), Hara and the River Gozan, where they are to this day". The identification of the Khabur with the Habor is not contested.

The ancient city of Corsote, visited by Cyrus the Younger on his ill-fated expedition against the Persians as told by Xenophon, was located at the confluence of the Khabur River, known by them as the 'Mascas', and the Euphrates according to Robin Waterfield. Other authors have been circumspect upon the precise location of Corsote due to the changing names and courses of the rivers since that time.

The Khabur river was sometimes identified with the Chebar or Kebar, the location of Tel Abib and setting of several important scenes of the Book of Ezekiel. However, recent scholarship identifies the Chebar as the ka-ba-ru waterway mentioned among the 5th century BCE Murushu archives from Nippur, close to Nippur and the Shatt el-Nil, a silted up canal toward the east of Babylon.

Modern Khabur River Valley
The Khabur River Project, begun in the 1960s, involved the construction of a series of dams and canals. Three dams were built in the Khabur Basin as part of a large irrigation scheme that also includes the Tabqa Dam on the Euphrates. The section of the Khabur River within Tell Tamer Subdistrict are home to a self-governing Assyrian enclave. Two dams, Hasakah West and Hasakah East, have been constructed on tributaries to the Khabur between Ra's al-'Ayn and Al-Hasakah. The capacity of the reservoir of Hasakah West is 0.09 km3, and is also the southeastern end of the Assyrian enclave. The capacity of Hasakah East is 0.2 km3. A third dam, Hassakeh South, was constructed on the Khabur 25 km south of Al-Hasakah. The reservoir of this dam has a capacity of 0.7 km3. The Khabur Valley, which now has about four million acres (16,000 km2) of farmland, is Syria's main wheat-cultivation area. The northeastern part is also the center for Syria's oil production.

Dynabook

The KiddiComp concept, envisioned by Alan Kay in 1968 while a PhD candidate, and later developed and described as the Dynabook in his 1972 proposal "A personal computer for children of all ages", outlines the requirements for a conceptual portable educational device that would offer similar functionality to that now supplied via a laptop computer or (in some of its other incarnations) a tablet or slate computer with the exception of the requirement for any Dynabook device offering near eternal battery life. Adults could also use a Dynabook, but the target audience was children.

Part of the motivation and funding for the Dynabook project came from the need for portable military maintenance, repair, and operations documentation. The prospect of eliminating the need to move large amounts of difficult-to-access paper in a dynamic military theater led to significant US Department of Defense funding.

Though the hardware required to create a Dynabook is here today, Alan Kay still thinks the Dynabook hasn't been invented yet, because key software and educational curricula are missing. When Microsoft came up with its tablet PC, Kay was quoted as saying "Microsoft's Tablet PC, the first Dynabook-like computer good enough to criticize".

Toshiba also has a line of sub-notebook computers called DynaBooks. In June 2018, Sharp acquired a majority stake in Toshiba's PC business including laptops and tablets sold under the Dynabook brand.

Original concept
Describing the idea as "A Personal Computer For Children of All Ages", Kay wanted the Dynabook concept to embody the learning theories of Jerome Bruner and some of what Seymour Papert— who had studied with developmental psychologist Jean Piaget and who was one of the inventors of the Logo programming language — was proposing. This concept was created two years before the founding of Xerox PARC. The ideas led to the development of the Xerox Alto prototype, which was originally called "the interim Dynabook". It embodied all the elements of a graphical user interface, or GUI, as early as 1972. The software component of this research was Smalltalk, which went on to have a life of its own independent of the Dynabook concept.

The hardware on which the programming environment ran was relatively irrelevant.

At the same time, Kay tried in his 1972 article to identify existing hardware components that could be used in a Dynabook, including screens, processors and storage memory. For example: "A standalone 'smart terminal' that uses one of these chips for a processor (and includes memory, a keyboard, a display and two cassettes) is now on the market for about $6000."

The Dynabook vision was most fully laid out in Kay’s 1977 article "Personal Dynamic Media", co-authored with collaborator (and Smalltalk co-inventor) Adele Goldberg.

In 2019, Kay gave a detailed answer to a question on Quora, about the origins of the Dynabook concept.

Later works
Since the late 1990s, Kay has been working on the Squeak programming system, an open source Smalltalk-based environment which could be seen as a logical continuation of the Dynabook concept.

He was actively involved in the One Laptop Per Child project, which uses Smalltalk, Squeak, and the concepts of a computer for learning.

Talk:List of North American birds: non-passerines

Taxonomy
The consensus for group and species bird accounts is to use Handbook of Birds of the World for the northern hemisphere and HANZAB for the southern. This because different regions use different classification systems (at least four English language ones for North America, Britain and Ireland, South Africa and Australia and New Zealand).

Whilst it is reasonable for a regional list to use its local system, as in this major article, obviously we want to avoid say Peregrine Falcon being constantly moved between Accipitiformes, Falconiformes and Ciconiiformes.

The use of the term unfortunately is blatently POV regardless of the goodness or badness of extinction. To address you concern however, extinction is a naturally occuring event that can open new niches in the ecosystem allowing increased diversity in the ecosphere. While I personaly hold the view that extiction is in geenral harmful in the short term, and that man made extictions may be harmful in the long term, such topics are mroe rightly addressed under the article Views of Extinction. AQBachler 07:09, 22 Dec 2003 (UTC)

As currently constituted, the List of North American birds is not really a list of North American birds at all, but is more properly a list of the birds of the continental United States and Canada. As ecognized by geographers, the North American continent also includes Central America from Mexico through Panama, plus the Caribbean Islands. A comprehensive list of the birds of North America is readily available in the AOU’s Check-list of North American birds; one only has to delete those species recorded only in the Hawaiian Islands. Instead, the current list is arbitrarily confined to that portion of North America covered by the ABA Checklist (i.e., the continental United States and Canada), thereby creating an incomplete and anglo-centric view of the continents birdlife. The reasons given for doing so--(1) a comprehensive list would be too long, and (2) most North American bird field guides restrict themselves to the U.S. and Canada--ring hollow. I see two possible solutions: (1) use the AOU Check-list of North American birds to create a truly comprehensive List of the birds of North America, or (2) rename this list the List of birds of the continental United States and Canada.

Methyl tert-butyl ether

Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), also known as tert-butyl methyl ether, is an organic compound with a structural formula (CH3)3COCH3. MTBE is a volatile, flammable, and colorless liquid that is sparingly soluble in water. Primarily used as a fuel additive, MTBE is blended into gasoline to increase its octane rating and knock resistance, and reduce unwanted emissions.

Production and properties
MTBE is manufactured via the chemical reaction of methanol and isobutylene. Methanol is primarily derived from natural gas, where steam reforming converts the various light hydrocarbons in natural gas (primarily methane) into carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The resulting gases then further react in the presence of a catalyst to form methanol. Isobutylene can be produced through a variety of methods. n-butane can be isomerized into isobutane which can be dehydrogenated to isobutylene. In the Halcon process, t-Butyl hydroperoxide derived from isobutane oxygenation is treated with propylene to produce propylene oxide and t-butanol. The t-butanol can be dehydrated to isobutylene.

MTBE production in the U.S. peaked in 1999 at 260,000 barrels per day before dropping down to about 50,000 barrels per day and holding steady, mostly for the export market. After the purchase of SABIC, oil giant Saudi Aramco is now considered to be the world's largest producer with an estimated production capacity of 2.37 million metric tons per year (mt/yr). Worldwide production capacity of MTBE in 2018 was estimated to be 35 million metric tons.

Uses
MTBE is used as a fuel component in fuel for gasoline engines. It is one of a group of chemicals commonly known as oxygenates because they raise the oxygen content of gasoline.

As anti-knocking agent
In the U.S. MTBE has been used in gasoline at low levels since 1979, replacing tetraethyllead (TEL) as an antiknock (octane rating) additive to prevent engine knocking. Oxygenates also help gasoline burn more completely, reducing tailpipe emissions. Oxygenates also dilute or displace gasoline components such as aromatics (e.g., benzene). Before the introduction of other oxygenates and octane enhancers, refiners chose MTBE for its blending characteristics and low cost.

Alternatives to MTBE as an anti-knock agent
Other oxygenates are available as additives for gasoline including ethanol and other ethers such as ETBE.

Ethanol has been advertised as a safe alternative by agricultural and other interest groups in the U.S. and Europe. In 2003, California was the first U.S. state to start replacing MTBE with ethanol.

An alternative to ethanol is ETBE, which is manufactured from ethanol and isobutene. Its performance as an additive is similar to MTBE, but due to the higher price of ethanol compared to methanol, it is more expensive.

Higher quality gasoline is also an alternative, so that additives such as MTBE are unnecessary. Iso-octane itself is used. MTBE plants can be retrofitted to produce iso-octane from isobutylene.

As a solvent
MTBE is sometimes used as a solvent,  although it is used less commonly than diethyl ether. Although an ether, MTBE is a poor Lewis base and does not support formation of Grignard reagents. It is also unstable toward strong acids. It reacts dangerously with bromine.

MTBE forms azeotropes with water (52.6 °C; 96.5% MTBE) and methanol (51.3 °C; 68.6% MTBE).

In an investigational medical procedure called contact dissolution therapy, MTBE is injected directly into the gallbladder to dissolve cholesterol gallstones. Due to concerns of MTBE toxicity and potentially serious side effects in the event of solvent draining into the duodenum, and the advent of laparoscopic surgery techniques, this procedure is considered obsolete.

MTBE is used in organic chemistry as a relatively inexpensive solvent with properties comparable to diethyl ether, but with a higher boiling point and less solubility in water. As a solvent, MTBE has one distinct advantage over most ethers - it has a much lower tendency to form explosive organic peroxides. It is widely used as a solvent in industry where, for safety and regulatory reasons, handling diethyl ether or other ethers is much more difficult and expensive. MTBE as a solvent is used in the oil refining industry as a method for dewaxing waxy petroleum fractions.

Persistence and pervasiveness in the environment
MTBE gives water an unpleasant taste at very low concentrations. MTBE often is introduced into water-supply aquifers by leaking underground storage tanks (USTs) at gasoline stations or spills of gasoline. The higher water solubility and persistence of MTBE cause it to travel faster and farther than many other components of gasoline when released into an aquifer.

MTBE is biodegraded by the action of bacteria. In the proper type of bioreactor, such as a fluidized bed bioreactor, MTBE may be removed rapidly and economically from water to undetectable levels. Activated carbon produced from coconut shells and optimized for MTBE adsorption may reduce MTBE to undetectable levels, although this level of reduction is likely to occur only in the most ideal circumstances. There are currently no known published cases of any in-situ treatment method that has been capable of reducing contaminant concentrations to baseline (pre-development) conditions within the aquifer soil matrix.

According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a branch of the World Health Organization, MTBE is not classified as a human carcinogen. MTBE may be tasted in water at concentrations of 5–15 μg/L (5-15ppb).

Restrictions on MTBE manufacturing and use
The Energy Policy Act of 2005, as approved by the U.S. House of Representatives, did not include a provision for shielding MTBE manufacturers from water contamination lawsuits. This provision was first proposed in 2003 and had been thought by some to be a priority of Tom DeLay and Rep. Joe Barton, then chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee. This bill did include a provision that gave MTBE makers, including some major oil companies, $2 billion in transition assistance while MTBE was phased out over the following nine years. Due to opposition in the Senate, the conference report dropped all MTBE provisions. The final bill was signed into law by President George W. Bush. The lack of MTBE liability protection is resulting in a switchover to the use of ethanol as a gasoline additive.

Cleanup costs and litigation
MTBE removal from groundwater and soil contamination in the U.S. was estimated to cost from $1 billion to US$30 billion, including removing the compound from aquifers and municipal water supplies and replacing leaky underground oil tanks. In one case, the cost to oil companies to clean up the MTBE in wells belonging to the city of Santa Monica, California was estimated to exceed $200 million. In another case, New York City estimated a $250 million cost for cleanup of a single wellfield in the borough of Queens in 2009. In 2013 a jury awarded the State of New Hampshire $236 million in damages in order to treat groundwater contaminated by MTBE.

Many lawsuits are still pending regarding MTBE contamination of public and private drinking water supplies.

Drinking water regulations
EPA first listed MTBE in 1998 as a candidate for development of a national Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) standard in drinking water. The agency listed MTBE on its Contaminant Candidate List in 2022 but has not announced whether it will develop an MCL. EPA uses toxicity data in developing MCLs for public water systems.

California established a state-level MCL for MTBE, 13 micrograms per liter, in 2000.

Talk:Snowflake (gorilla)

"Please send more white gorillas." ???
I am suspicious that the paragraph with this quote, including "harvest testicles" is bunk. People fooling around... I've looked on line by google search for supporting information and have found none. The citations look weak. I include the next "David Taylor" paragraph in my suspicion. I've just deleted two dubious, non-sourced alternate names for the gorilla ("buttercup" "vanilla gorilla"). Reluctant to continue cleanup by deletion, however. As is common, the text from the article is spread over the internet, so searching for information just turns up a reflection of this article. If there was this genetic/breeding effort, there would be scientific publications to support it, I should think (rather than an ancient, obscure (fictional looking) newspaper article with no link...).

 * To note that per comments above, others had similar suspicions dating to 2008. No citations in 14 years... I should think if there was an IVF program, that would have been noted in the citations giving information about the offspring.  Bdushaw (talk) 12:01, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

 * I've found numerous eulogies for Snowflake in reputable places (NBC, AP, etc.) and none of them mention any of the above notions. I feel more confident about removing the above text.  I noted also that "harvest testicles" had been removed before.  Those that feel these facts are true should feel free to restore the text with reputable citations to support.
