Newstead Wood School

Newstead Wood School is a selective girls' grammar school in Avebury Road, Orpington, south east London, England. The school has been admitting boys into the sixth form since 2012.

Admissions
The school is a grammar school which admits girls in Year 7 based on the results of its own selection test. The current head teacher is Alan Blount. The school's motto is Fortitudine Crescamus (Latin for: 'May we grow in strength'). Boys are admitted in the sixth form.

History
The school was founded as Orpington Grammar School for Girls only in 1957, when administered by the Kent Education Committee. In 1965, as a result of the London Government Act 1963, the local area, and thus the school, came under the authority of the London Borough of Bromley. It was at this point that the school's name was changed to Newstead Wood School. Nearby Bullers Wood School became a comprehensive in the late 1970s, and most schools in the borough are now comprehensive. There were firm plans for Newstead Wood School to become comprehensive in 1978, but the school has remained one of the only two selective state schools in Bromley. As a result, it is heavily oversubscribed.

In 1997, a survey in the Sunday Times found that the school was the best value in England for each A or B grade achieved at A-level, second to St Olave's school; Bromley was a low spender (per pupil) comparative to other LEAs. In 2004, a pupil gained the best result at Maths GCSE in England. In 2009 the headteacher told the conference in Harrogate of the Girls' Schools Association that schools were not concentrating on brighter pupils, instead trying to raise average pupils' grades from D to C, and that girls in mixed-sex schools can have their ambitions crushed and be held back in male-dominated professions (girls from single-sex schools are statistically more successful in science-based professions than from mixed schools). She also criticised a government scheme to give one-to-one tuition to less able pupils, and not more-able students, when considering the lack of women in traditionally-male occupations, and she claimed there was a 'huge reluctance' to concentrate on top students.

On 1 April 2011, the school gained academy status and is now sponsored by United Learning.

Academic performance
At its last full inspection in 2022, Newstead Wood was rated by Ofsted as Outstanding,. The school has a large catchment area of nine miles, from which pupils are selected on the basis of tests in verbal and non-verbal reasoning.

The school was ranked third amongst secondary schools in Bromley based on overall performance at end of key stage 4 in 2019 - all pupils on the Progress 8 benchmark.

Times Parent Power has ranked the School's 2019 A-level results 121st in the country (previous year 161st) and 2019 GCSE results 11th (previous year 15th) and also ranks it 11th amongst all secondary schools in Greater London.

Entrance examinations
There are currently two examinations required to gain a place at the school: verbal and non-verbal reasoning.

Chicken hypnotism

A chicken can be hypnotized, or put into a trance, with its head down near the ground, by drawing a line along the ground with a stick or a finger, starting at the beak and extending straight outward in front of the chicken. If the chicken is hypnotized in this manner, it will continue to stare at the line and remain immobile for as long as 30 minutes. Other methods of inducing this state are also known. Ethologists refer to this state as 'tonic immobility', i.e. a natural state of semi-paralysis that some animals enter when presented with a threat.

An early reference of this phenomenon was described in 1646 in Ars Magna Lucis et Umbrae by Athanasius Kircher.

Methods
One technique of hypnosis is to hold the chicken face up with its back on the ground, and then run a finger downwards from the chicken's wattles to just above its vent. The chicken's feet are exposed, which allows easy application of medication for foot mites, etc. Clapping hands or giving the chicken a gentle shove will waken it.

One can also hypnotize a chicken by mimicking how it sleeps – with its head under its wing. In this method, the bird is held firmly, placing its head under its wing. Then, the chicken is rocked gently back and forth and set very carefully on the ground. When this is done it generally stays in the same position for about 30 seconds. H.B. Gibson, in his book Hypnosis – its Nature and Therapeutic Uses, states that the record period for a chicken remaining under hypnosis is 3 hours, 47 minutes.

Notable practitioners
Al Gore, former U.S. vice-president, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and presidential candidate, said that people in his native state of Tennessee would sometimes hypnotize chickens by placing the chicken's head on the ground and drawing circles around it with a finger or a stick, causing the chicken to try to follow the motion.

Werner Herzog was "known to hypnotize chickens; he also hypnotized the cast of his 1976 film Heart of Glass".

Steve Fairnie, a 1980s British musician, advised: "You have to dominate the chicken and be right above it staring into its eyes. Then it will either go under or it will viciously attack you, so you have to be a bit careful...".

In popular culture

 * Friedrich Nietzsche, 19th-century German philosopher, in his book Thus Spoke Zarathustra used a philosophical metaphor referring to the hypnosis of the chicken. It is in Chapter 6, "The Pale Criminal", and reads as follows: "The streak of chalk bewitcheth the hen; the stroke he struck bewitched his weak reason. Madness AFTER the deed, I call this." Nietzsche employs this metaphor again within the third essay of On the Genealogy of Morality, stating, "The unhappy man has heard, has understood; he is like a hen around which a line has been drawn. He cannot get out of this drawn circle."
 * Clark Gable, in the 1945 film Adventure, hypnotizes a rooster while he and Greer Garson try to lure chickens from behind the bush by using the rooster as bait.
 * Werner Herzog has included chicken hypnotism in several films, including the 1968 Signs of Life, which features a scene in which a chicken is hypnotized by a line drawn by chalk, and his 1974 film The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser.
 * Federico Fellini's 1984 And the Ship Sails On features a scene in which a male opera singer hypnotises a chicken in the mess hall.
 * Ernest Hemingway briefly describes the process in The Dangerous Summer, comparing it to the hypnotic effect of a bullfighters' cape.
 * The 1993 film Even Cowgirls Get the Blues has some lines about chicken hypnotism and shows a character hypnotizing chickens by twirling them in the air exactly twenty times.
 * The United States military, when trying to avoid divulging information, gives reporters briefings with 25 minutes of intentionally dull PowerPoint presentations and 5 minutes left at the end for questions from anyone who is still awake. The presentations are called hypnotizing chickens.
 * Thomas B. Hess, art critic and long time editor of ARTnews, used chicken hypnotism to describe Barnett Newman's iconic "zip" paintings in a March 1950 review: "There were some terrific optical illusions: if you stared closely at the big red painting with the thin white stripe, its bottom seemed to shoot out at your ankles, and the rectangular canvas itself appeared wildly distorted. It is quite like what happens to a hen when its beak is put on the ground and a chalk line drawn away from it on the floor. However, very few spectators actually became hypnotized".
 * The Iggy Pop song "Lust for Life" contains a line referring to "hypnotizing chickens", in a nod to William Burroughs' novel The Ticket That Exploded.
 * Australian test cricketer Max Walker included chicken hypnotism in the title of his book How to Hypnotise Chooks (1987) chooks being Australian slang for chicken.
 * Danny Glover hypnotizes a rooster in the 1990 film To Sleep with Anger.

Institute for Solar Physics

The Institute for Solar Physics (Institutet för solfysik) is a Swedish research institute. It is managed as an independent institute associated with Stockholm University through its Department of Astronomy. It is also a national research infrastructure under the Swedish Research Council.

The institute was established in 1951 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences as the Research Station for Astrophysics on the island of Capri, Italy. Around 1980 the station moved to La Palma in the Canary Islands. The new station is situated within the Spanish-International Observatory on the Roque de los Muchachos. It soon became obvious that the superior astronomical climate on La Palma called for a first-class solar telescope. The 47.5-cm Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope (SVST) was erected in 1985.

During the 1990s, the daily operations of the institute gradually moved from La Palma to Stockholm.

The SVST was removed from the tower on 28 August 2000 after almost 15 years of successful operations. It was replaced with the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope, which has twice as large an aperture diameter.

In 2013, the institute was transferred from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to its current home with Stockholm University.

Caller (dancing)

A caller is a person who prompts dance figures in such dances as line dance, square dance, and contra dance. The caller might be one of the participating dancers, though in modern country dance this is rare.

In round dance a person who performs this function is called a cuer. Their role is fundamentally the same as a caller, in that they tell dancers what to do in a given dance, though they differ on several smaller points. In northern New England contra dancing, the caller is also known as the prompter.

Comparing callers and cuers
Callers and cuers serve slightly different functions in different types of dance. Improvisation in modern Western square dance calling distinguishes it from the calling in many other types of dance.

Callers in many dance types are expected to sing and to be entertaining, but round dance cuers do not sing and are expected to be as unobtrusive as possible.

Standardized dances such as round dance, modern western square dance, and Salsa Rueda consist of a number of defined difficulty levels. Callers and cuers are responsible for knowing all of the calls or cues (respectively), also known as figures, for the defined difficulty level at which their dancers are dancing, as well as all figures belonging to lower or easier levels.

Callers for other types of dance may be required only to know the particular dance they are calling.

Contra dance caller
Contra dance callers typically take on a role as the host of a contra dance event, stepping aside only briefly to let the organizers of the dance (who hired them and arranged logistics) make announcements (typically before the break). They are responsible for helping attendees find partners and organize themselves into contra lines, for teaching them the moves of the dance during a walkthrough, and for calling the moves during the dance until the dancers have it memorized. They also coordinate with the band to help them figure out which tunes to play and how long to play a dance for.

Modern western square dance caller
The role of a caller in modern western square dance is not only to provide the dance steps which all of the dancers on the floor should be able to follow, but also to provide entertainment through a combination of factors, including programming, showmanship, singing ability, and challenging choreography.

Part of the entertainment factor can come from the caller's use of "patter" — a set of rhyming words and rhythms that complement the names of the dance steps being called. Patter can not only be entertaining because it is innovative and surprising, but it can also fill in the space between lengthy dance patterns, helping boost up the energy during potentially dull moments.

There is a large, common pool of patter which callers might use. Examples are:

Allemande left with your left hand. / Back to the partner for a right and left grand. or Ace of diamonds, Jack of spades / Meet your partner and all promenade.

The square dance calls are underlined; all the rest is patter.

Many callers spend time inventing their own unique patter or variants on common patter.

Entertainment also comes from callers challenging the dancers on the floor. There are many techniques to accomplish this. This can be done choreographically, for example, by mixing dance calls in unexpected or unusual ways, by varying expected dance patterns, or by calling figures from unusual and unexpected formations. Callers might also use gimmicks such as calling a common and well-known sequence of calls, and then catching dancers off guard by suddenly changing an expected call.

Occasionally callers make mistakes, or forget what they are doing momentarily, in which case, it is important for them to be able to keep the dancers moving and to bring the dancers back to their partners, and home again, smoothly, and hopefully without anybody noticing.

Call types
There are two primary classifications of figure types in modern Western square dancing, patter and singing.

Patter calls
Patter calls, also known as hash calls, are based on a quick and fluid succession of spoken ("pattered") or sing-song delivered calls, often to the accompaniment of an instrumental piece of music that it is not necessarily recognizable as a song. Choreography may appear "on-the-fly" with calls randomly strung together, but it conforms to strict choreographic rules. Most patter calling is improvised by the caller as the dancers are moving; if the tempo of the calling is done at a fast pace allowing the dancers to flow from one move to another without pauses, it may be called hot hash.

The primary purpose of patter calls is to give dancers a challenge by surprising them with unexpected choreography.

Many callers are very well known for their ability to put calls together to create a unique, smooth-flowing dance. Some callers are also known for the unusual and interesting formations they move the dancers through.

Singing calls
Singing calls are based on a sung delivery of calls, most often to a recognizable melody, and square dance calls are mixed in with the song's original lyrics. Many widely recognized songs have been turned into singing calls. The primary purpose of singing calls is to help the dancers relax, dance well together as a group, and enjoy the song and the caller's performance.

Some callers are very well known for their voices, and for how well they can perform singing calls.

There is often a very specific format for singing calls. Most singing calls are structured in an A-B-B-A-B-B-A format, with each section consisting of 64 beats. The "A" sections (the beginning, middle and end "break" sections) often involve simple moves done in a circular fashion, with no partner change. The "B" sections, known as the "figures", are often, especially at the lower levels of dancing, identical, and produce a partner change. Usually this means that at the end of each "B" section each "lady" moves to the next "gent" to her right. At the end of the final B section, each "lady" has returned to her original partner. Variations are occasionally seen; for example, the ladies may move left instead of right, or the last "A" section may be omitted.

Singing calls, like patter calls, vary in dance difficulty, and are rarely improvised in full. They are uncommon above the Advanced program, although there are famous singing calls at the highest challenge levels.

Programming
A modern Western square dance tip is composed of a combination of patter calls and singing calls. Usually one patter call is followed by one singing call to make a tip, although this is not universal.

There are a number of ways that a caller programs the evening's entertainment. The caller might feature a particular music theme (such as a Rock and Roll party, or a Halloween festival), or might include variations of a particular dance call throughout the night.

Generally callers start the evening slowly to warm dancers up, and to give them chances to succeed during the first tip. Then tempo and difficulty increases and peaks for most of the evenings. At the end of the evening there is usually a slower dance number at the end to relax the dancers, and to let them wind down.

Training to call
Calling a modern Western square dance requires a number of different skills and some natural talent; becoming a caller requires training— both educational training and "in front of the microphone" practice.

Sometimes people who get the desire to call believe that it is enough to stand up on a platform, and sing the provided text to a square dance song, or call a pre-written sequence of patter. Difficult as even that can be for some, with some natural talent, a good ear for rhythm and timing, an engaging stage presence, and perhaps a robust singing voice, even a beginner can sound good.

A caller has two main roles:
 * Teacher
 * Dance caller

As a teacher, the caller must develop their educational skills, as well as the educational materials used in class. People skills are very important.

As a dance caller, the caller must prepare choreographic material, and must be able to deliver it, whether by memory, or by using written sequences, or by using sight calling. The choreographic material must conform to a strict, basic set of choreographic rules:
 * Bring dancers back to their original partner
 * Bring partners home
 * And keep people dancing smoothly and enjoyably.

Caller training is available, and Callerlab certifies instructors.

Round dance cuer
Round dance cuers recite rehearsed, pre-choreographed sequences of figures. Unlike callers in Salsa Rueda or modern western square dance, who invoke an execution of figures in an unexpected order that varies from one run of the dance to another, a round dance cuer only "cues", i.e., hints each subsequent figure of a predefined sequence, possibly already known to the dancers.

The cuer, rather than being expected to call out original, on-the-fly choreography, is expected to know many (sometimes lengthy) dances and lead the floor through each one by appropriately and clearly stating the name of each successive step in the dance just in time to hear it before the last step has finished. Often cuing is from cards which list the steps in abbreviated notation. Cuing each step with proper timing is often tricky, as some dance steps can have very long names ("through-side-close to sidecar" for example), and there are times when a series of quick steps have been placed together, which requires quick speech, while maintaining good diction.

Cuers are not expected (or even encouraged or suggested) to add patter. Rather, they speak more softly, and as quickly as possible to allow the dancers to enjoy as much of the song as possible. Cuers do not sing, either, except in rare occasions. Being more calm than most folk and country dances, round dance cuers are not expected to entertain; the act of dancing is the primary entertainment.

Cuers are expected to also know the steps they are cuing well enough to teach them. At most round dances, there are a few pieces that most people know, but it is a cuer's job to also introduce new dances and teach them. Especially in both very early levels and very advanced levels, it is important that cuers can teach the steps, as several dances are listed as "Phase 2 + 1", meaning that the majority of the steps are at phase two, but there is one step added in from another level.

Salsa Rueda caller
In Salsa Rueda, hand signs are used to complement voice calls; these are useful in noisy venues, where spoken calls might not be easily heard.

Charlotte Ross

Charlotte Ross (born January 21, 1968) is an American actress. She is best known for her roles as Eve Donovan on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives from 1987 to 1991, and as Detective Connie McDowell on the ABC police procedural drama series NYPD Blue from 2001 to 2004.

Early life
Ross was born in the Chicago suburb of Winnetka, Illinois, on January 21, 1968, and grew up there. Her parents are Debbie Ross Kullby, and Peter Ross (died 2009), who was a financial advisor. She has one sibling, younger brother George, an NYC-based triathlete and hedge fund-analyst. Her first on-screen performance was in My First Mouthpiece when she was eight years old. She moved on to performing in various theater productions around metropolitan Chicago.

Career
After graduating from New Trier High School, Ross moved to Los Angeles, which her father opposed. She auditioned for the role of Kelly Bundy in the Fox comedy series Married... with Children, but was the producers' second choice behind Christina Applegate to whom she lost the role, before being cast as Eve Donovan on Days of Our Lives. Four years later, Ross co-starred with Katey Sagal in the television film Violation of Trust (aka She Says She's Innocent). The year after that, she guest starred on Married... with Children as one of Bud Bundy's sexier classmates.

Ross's run on Days of Our Lives lasted from 1987 to 1991, earning her two Emmy Award nominations. Her other television credits include the musical drama series The Heights (where she sang on the Billboard Number One hit "How Do You Talk to an Angel"), The 5 Mrs. Buchanans, Drexell's Class, Pauly, Law & Order, Trinity, Beggars and Choosers, Frasier, Savage Land, Jake in Progress, Fall Into Darkness, and A Kiss So Deadly (which reunited with her Days co-star Charles Shaughnessy). She also co-starred in the Lifetime original films Montana Sky and Christmas in Paradise (both 2007). She earned a Gold record in 1992 for her work as a singer on the soundtrack album to The Heights.

Ross also played Connie McDowell in the ABC police procedural drama series NYPD Blue from 2001 to 2004. On February 25, 2003, Ross appeared in an NYPD Blue episode entitled "Nude Awakening", which featured shots of her buttocks as she prepared to step into the shower. As a result, the FCC fined each of the 52 ABC stations with a $27,500 fine (a combined $1,430,000) for broadcasting "indecent material" between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. However, on January 4, 2011, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously revoked the fine, stating that the FCC's enforcement of its indecency rules was "unconstitutionally vague and chilling." ABC, Inc., et al. v. Federal Communications Commission, No. 08-0841-ag(L) (2nd Cir.).

In 2006, Ross joined Billy Blanks to co-host a series of Tae-Bo infomercials. In 2011, Ross appeared as Candy in Summit's 3D film Drive Angry, alongside Nicolas Cage and Amber Heard. From 2009 to 2012, Ross began a recurring role on the Fox comedy-drama series Glee as Judy Fabray, the mother of Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron). She appeared in four episodes. In 2013, Ross began starring in the VH1 sports drama series Hit the Floor. In 2014, Ross passed on an offer to return to Days of Our Lives as Eve Donovan, and her role was recast with Kassie DePaiva because she was too busy with other acting projects. Ross made a guest appearance in the ABC musical drama series Nashville. Later in the same year, she was cast as Felicity Smoak's mother in The CW superhero series, Arrow.

Personal life
On October 18, 2003, Ross married Michael Goldman. They welcomed their only child, son Maxwell Ross Goldman, on 23 March 2004. The couple separated in 2008. Ross currently resides in Los Angeles.

Activism
In 2002, Ross supported PETA's anti-fur campaign by appearing naked in advertisements captioned "I'd Rather Show My Buns Than Wear Fur".

In 2014, Ross signaled her support to the Animal Legal Defense Fund campaign "National Justice for Animals Week" by filming a video.

The result of the move request was: move Game Boy line to Game Boy family, per the discussion below. This also creates consistency among Game Boy family, Nintendo DS family, and Nintendo 3DS family. It appears there is some support for moving all three pages to "product line" titles, but particularly since the 3DS article was not included/notified as part of this request, I'd suggest doing that as part of a new move request if necessary.

– The words "line" and "family" do not seem to be part of any official name to describe the series of handheld consoles which these articles describe. In fact, amending any word to their titles seem to not be proper. I'm proposing that these to articles move to a title with a consistent/same disambiguator (such as "(brand)" or "(series)") as there seems to be no natural disambiguation title option for either of these other than moving them to their ambiguous titles ... which are currently occupied by articles representing the first-released consoles in their series. (Game Boy, Nintendo DS.) Steel1943  (talk) 20:27, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Game Boy line → ?
 * Nintendo DS family → ?
 * Comment I'd say that they should be moved to Game Boy and Nintendo DS, with the respective consoles being moved to Game Boy (console) and Nintendo DS (console).ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:24, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I was wondering about that option, considering that falls in line with the precedent at PlayStation and PlayStation (console). Steel1943  (talk) 22:23, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh wow, I just found out that Nintendo DS family and Nintendo 3DS family are two separate articles. (I honestly didn't think the latter would even have an article for this reason.) I wonder if they should be merged? Steel1943  (talk) 22:29, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Certainly not... the DS and 3DS lines are two distinct product lines with several different models for each line.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 00:15, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, the Nintendo DS line and the Nintendo 3DS line are two very different families of handhelds. I strongly oppose a merge. ~ P*h3i   (talk to me)  00:55, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ...10-4. Steel1943  (talk) 02:04, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment (product line) is probably more accurate than (series). Or, (brand). -- ferret (talk) 22:08, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I recommend that option since the only other situation I could find for a precedent, PlayStation, has PlayStation (series) and PlayStation (brand) as incoming redirects, but not PlayStation (product line) or PlayStation (console series). (I originally considered proposing "(console series)" as their new disambiguator until I realized that disambiguator could be considered ambiguous due to the use of another word in addition to "series".) Steel1943  (talk) 22:36, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * PlayStation was originally at (brand) before being moved. -- ferret (talk) 22:42, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose Although I agree 'line' does not refer to a technical term for a set of game systems, Nintendo itself uses the term 'family', as in 'Nintendo 3DS family of systems'. I would say 'series' refers to a set of software, not hardware. I would support a change to 'family' or 'brand'. ~ P*h3i   (talk to me)  22:35, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, come to think of it, my true intent is rather to move the pages away from their current titles to really any title using their base name and a common disambiguator. I'll update my move request. Steel1943  (talk) 22:38, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * In that case, I support in the case that anything except series is used. I believe family would be the best term to use. ~ P*h3i   (talk to me)  22:43, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose As proposed to switching to a parenthetical disambiguation. WP:NATURAL is preferred, and a lack of an official use of the term is not part of article naming, common usage is. It doesn't have to be official, if sources refer to a "Game Boy family", etc. Both "Game Boy family" and "Game Boy line" frequently appear in sources, as does "Game Boy brand". I have no preference over "line" vs "family" vs "brand", but it's fine being a natural part of the article title. -- ferret (talk) 22:47, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, but it would be preferrable to have all of these types of pages to have corresponding titles. No conflicts of consistency really come into this. ~ P*h3i   (talk to me)  22:51, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * That's really a separate issue. The pages can all be at line, or family, or whatever. Still stick to WP:NATURAL. -- ferret (talk) 22:57, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Is consensus to rename 'Game Boy line' to 'Game Boy family'? If not, please detail concerns/args below. ~ P*h3i   (talk to me)  02:47, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * If no one else responds below I can confirm that consensus has been reached and I'll initiate the move. ~ P*h3i   (talk to me)  13:01, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * No opposition to "family" in the place of "line". -- ferret (talk) 13:51, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * A bit early to declare that consensus has been reached, particularly since you have voiced a specific opinion here. These things normally run for a week or so and are closed by an uninvolved editor. Dekimasu よ! 06:36, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Neutral (I oppose "(series)"), but these two and the Nintendo 3DS family page should all be consistent. I'd support moving to "Game Boy product line", "Nintendo DS product line", and "Nintendo 3DS product line". What do you all think of this suggestion? Paintspot Infez (talk) 22:18, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I second use of product line. Its textbook definition is "group of related products under a single brand sold by the same company" and that fits the bill over "family". ~ P*h3i   (talk to me)  22:28, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Game Boy (sub) families
Clarification about GB (sub) "families":
 * "Families" are considered a set of devices with a fairly amount of common characteristics and belonging to the same console generation, rather than being distributed on a world geography.
 * They are NOT considered revisions of the boards or devices as they were manufactured and distributed at the same time. That means those device status were "in production" at the same time (i.e. you could buy two different devices of the same family in the stores)

So far there are 3 different (sub) families:
 * Classic GB family
 * GB Color family. Although it only has one member it is considered a family in itself for consistency
 * GB Advance family — Preceding unsigned comment added by AFernandezA (talk • contribs) 19:22, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree with that assessment. Each represents a break in hardware compatibility. GBC games can't be played on an original Game Boy, and GBA games can't be played on a GBC. oknazevad (talk) 22:34, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Custom Game Boy in Image
The Image at the top of the page with different models from left to right has an inaccurate depiction of the black Play-It-Loud DMG Game Boy. The buttons and screen lens bezel are the wrong color--this is an image of a device that was repaired/customized, not a black Play-It-Loud as shipped from Nintendo.

I suggest replacing the image or changing the description to reflect this.

Mrrmv (talk) 16:40, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

 * I'd just crop it out. The Play-it-Loud models have zero differences from the original other than casing colors, and don't need to be represented in the lead image anymore than the various casing colors of subsequent models. oknazevad (talk) 22:34, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Chart order
Shouldn't the chart in the Comparison section be organized in a much more logical earliest-to-latest left-to-right fashion? I mean, English is written left-to-right, so it would be expected to see the earliest thing first when reading. oknazevad (talk) 22:34, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Fountains of Wayne (album)

Fountains of Wayne is the debut studio album by the American rock band Fountains of Wayne. It was released on TAG Recordings, Scratchie Records, and Atlantic Records in 1996. A reissue of the vinyl was released on Yep Roc Records.

Background
College friends Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger had formed two failing bands before reconvening in Manhattan, where Collingwood wrote future Fountains of Wayne songs "Joe Rey", "Leave the Biker" and "Radiation Vibe" in half a day, then met with Schlesinger over drinks in order to start another band. According to Collingwood, "Basically, we started all this by writing a bunch of titles on bar napkins and trying to get the other guy to laugh. We'd get drunk and just sit there writing and laughing. We wound up with a list of hundreds of titles. Then we'd decide between the two of us who was going to take which song, and then meet the next night and see what we'd come up with." Eventually it took a week to write the songs that were included on their debut album.

Recording
Fountains of Wayne was recorded when the band was just a duo, before drummer Brian Young and guitarist Jody Porter were recruited to the band. (Young and Porter are listed as bandmembers on later reissues of the record, but not on the original release.) Collingwood and Schlesinger provide all the instrumentation on the recording, except for the bass guitar parts, which were performed by guest bassist Danny Weinkauf, ex-the Belltower. Schlesinger and Porter had also been members of The Belltower, and Weinkauf later played with Lincoln before joining They Might Be Giants. Dominique Durand of the band Ivy, of which Schlesinger was also a member, provided backing vocals on "Survival Car".

In 2016, Schlesinger explained the recording process: "On the recording, I was playing drums, Danny was playing bass and Chris was playing guitar. Then Chris and I would take turns doing some overdubs on guitar or a little keys. After we made the record, Danny decided to do other stuff (he’s now been touring and recording with They Might Be Giants for many years), and that’s when we found Jody and Brian and switched the line-up around, and I started playing bass."

The album's recording took a week and cost 5,000 dollars, with more money spent on mixing. According to Collingwood, "It was deliberate that we were going to write the album and record it quickly, before we had time to think about anything. Prior to this, Adam and I had both been careful, serious songwriters, in the vein of Simon & Garfunkel. We were much more careful about the arrangements and everything. But when we decided to make this record quickly and spontaneously, we figured that since doing it so fast was such a stupid idea, the band needed a stupid name as well."

Cover
The album's cover photo of a little boy clutching a rabbit and posing like a superhero was shot by Nick Waplington. It was also used for the album cover of Plastic Jewels by the UK band Flamingoes, which came out in the US two weeks before this album. According to Chris Collingwood, "This English photographer licensed the photograph to both bands. Worse than that, he was directly asked by us if he had licensed it to anybody else and he said no. So, basically, the guy's a complete asshole. We're changing the cover in Europe, but we're keeping it the same in the States. It's just too good a picture."

Release
The album was met with moderate commercial success and favorable reviews. Songs from it were featured on MTV's 120 Minutes program. The Toronto Star called the album "an appealing debut of clever, boisterous melodic pop that sounds classic on the first listen."

The album's lead single "Radiation Vibe" was included in the 2021 edition of Rolling Stone 's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Dsong. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dsong~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything.

Talk:Reaper Man

Edits
I removed the bit saying it's set before Mort, because

 * It must happen after Moving Pictures, as Mustrum Ridcully is the Archchancellor.

 * Moving Pictures must be set after Guards! Guards! in which Ridcully is not the Archchancellor.

 * Guards! Guards! must be set after Mort, since Lady Sybil refers to the Duke and Duchess of Sto Helit: "a very nice young couple"; evidently Mort and Ysabell. So RM must be set after Mort.

 * Ysabell isn't in Reaper Man. It might be before he adopted her of course, but that would put it forty years before Mort

 * In Soul Music, Susan travels back to the time of Mort and it's stated the cornfields in Death's Domain haven't been created yet.

 * The Death of Rats isn't mentioned in Mort.

 * Terry Pratchett says so.

One more reason: Death says at one point that he has a daughter, but they aren't in touch.

Location?
Is it known for sure that this novel (at least Death's parts) takes place in Lancre? When asked about an apothecary, Miss Flitworth responds by saying that "There's a witch over Lancre way." This would seem to imply that they are not in Lancre, but in a neighboring country, unless the citizens also refer to the castle town as "Lancre," which I suppose is possible.

United Nations Observer Mission Uganda–Rwanda

The United Nations Observer Mission Uganda–Rwanda (UNOMUR) was a peacekeeping mission established by the United Nations Security Council in Resolution 846 and lasted from June 1993 to September 1994. Its mission was "to monitor the border between Uganda and Rwanda and verify that no military assistance was being provided across it". It was based in Kabale, Uganda and its mandate thus covered 193 miles of border. Countries contributing to UNOMUR included Bangladesh, Botswana, Brazil, Hungary, the Netherlands, Senegal, Slovakia and Zimbabwe.

Its chief military observer from June to October 1993 was Brigadier-General Roméo Dallaire of Canada, who later gained fame as Force Commander of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda during the Rwandan genocide. Dallaire arrived in Uganda in early October 1993, where the liaison officer from the National Resistance Army (NRA) informed him he must be informed of all UNOMUR patrols at least twelve hours in advance and that all patrols would have NRA escorts. When Dallaire protested that the whole point of the Mission was to discover suspicious activity through the element of surprise, the NRA officer insisted. Also despite the fact that Uganda had agreed that the area of verification would range 100 km inside the Ugandan border, which included the transport hub of Mbarara, the NRA insisted on a 20 km limit, putting Mbarara off limits.

Dallaire noted, "The border was a sieve, riddled with little mountain trails that had been there for millennia. Given my tiny force of eighty-one observers and the fact that we had no helicopters with night-vision capability, the task of keeping the border under surveillance was at best symbolic."

Dallaire was soon appointed head of the new mission in Rwanda and left Uganda on October 21. His replacement as chief military observer was former second-in-command Colonel Ben Matiwaza of Zimbabwe, and later Colonel Asrarul Haque of Bangladesh.

UNOMUR would later be placed under the command of UNAMIR. Following the genocide and outbreak of the Rwandan Civil War, its mandate ended on September 21, 1994.

Dutch windmills
Hi, thanks for the note. It would be appreciated if photos could be added to the lists I created on the English wikipedia too. I'm also trying to get a wikiproject up and running on mills. You are welcome to join us, and maybe get those arrticles traanslated into English. So far the only individual mill we have is De Adriaan, Haarlem. Mjroots (talk) 04:32, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Windmills
I noticed your comment at User:Mjroots talk page.

I live in Cambridgeshire and am quite familiar with the windmills around here. As you probably know Cornelius Vermuyden was brought over by the Duke of Bedford to drain the Fens much in the same manner as the Dutch did theirs.

So ifyou need any information do please let me know. There's a pic at Fulbourn, I've personallly helped restore the one at West Wratting (which hasn't a web page), there are lots and lots around Cambrisgeshire. I am thinking mainly this would be relevant because of the Dutch connexion, a lot of them orignially were used for pumping water, though later put to other uses such as millling wheat. Ramsay Forty Foot is perhaps a good example too.

This may please you a little, our council motto is in Dutch: "Niet zonder arbeit"-- nothing without work.

Chinese amuletten
Moi ,

Ik weet dat jij in Chinese amuletten bent geïnteresseerd, om die reden verzoek ik je om deze pagina te bekijken, ik heb geprobeerd om ze allemaal eraan toe te voegen, als jij er nog andere kent en er boeken over hebt voeg het maar al te graag toe. Trouwens ik gebruik op die pagina één van de afbeeldingen die jij hebt geüpload. --Donald Trung (talk) 11:30, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Hallo Donald, de laatste tijd heb ik het om verschillende redenen wat druk gehad en dat gaat tot en met juni duren. Je hebt een uitgebreide lijst gemaakt en de meeste thema's herken ik ook van wat ik zelf ben tegengekomen. De Chinese invloed strekte zich uit tot landen als Indonesië, waar amuletten zijn vervaardigd met als basisontwerp de Chinese amuletten, maar met lokale thema's (verhalen uit de eigen mythologie, maar ook Islamitische thema's - deze werden meegegeven aan pelgrims op de Hadj). Er bestaat een boek over maar ik kan even niet op de titel komen en het ligt ergens onderin een doos., zie hier. Een plaatje met voorbeelden van dit soort amuletten staat hier. Ik weet niet of je hiermee bekend bent.
 * Misschien kom ik later hier nog wat uitgebreider op terug.
 * Groeten, Quistnix (talk) 19:54, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Ik wist niet dat dat soort amuletten óók in Indië werden gemaakt, ik heb tevergeefs nog gezocht naar wat meer gedetailleerde over de Japanse, Koreaanse en Viëtnamese varianten maar kon het niet vinden. Wanneer je wat minder druk bent hoop ik dat je de tijd hebt om je complete verzameling op Wikimedia Commons te publiceren, ik betwijfel het sterk dat ik de informatie zal vinden om over de Indische amuletten een artikel te schrijven maar als de afbeeldingen ee zijn dan kunnen andere mensen ze beter illustreren. --Donald Trung (talk) 05:48, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Zien een aantal van die Indische amuletten eruit als Kèpèngs/Pitjis met Arabisch schrift (Jawi)? Want die heb ik een keer in Soerabaya gezien. --Donald Trung (talk) 06:02, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Volgens mij zijn dat lokale muntjes. Ik heb daar ook een van in mijn verzameling. Maar het kan zijn dat daar ook amuletten op gebaseerd zijn. Quistnix (talk) 07:23, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Ik heb inmiddels de titel van het boek dat ik noemde: Magic coins of Java, Bali, and the Malay Peninsula, door Joe Cribb. Ik herinner mij dat ik in 2000 zelf geen documentatie kon vinden en met een handvol Indonesische amuletten naar het munten- en penningenkabinet ging. Een van de conservatoren was heel verbaasd omdat hij die amuletten vrijwel nooit had gezien, maar wel net dat boek had ontvangen. Ik kon toen dat boek via Amazon nieuw kopen. Volgens mij hebben ze het alleen nog maar tweedehands. Quistnix (talk) 07:33, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Als er genoeg informatie in staat kan je óók een Wikipedia artikel erover beginnen, dat klinkt best interessant. Ik ben van plan om al het symboliek van die Chinese amuletten op Wikipedia te noteren maar ik ben nu eerst allemaal kèpèng afbeeldingen naar Wikimedia Commons aan het importeren, het is makkelijker om informatie over Chinese amuletten te vinden dan die van Japan, Korea en mijn thuisland (Viëtnam). Waar heb jij trouwens je interesse in Chinese amuletten vandaan als ik mag vragen? --Donald Trung (talk) 09:45, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Overige Chinese exonumia
Ik heb trouwens ook de artikelen "Bamboo tally" en "Chinese token" over alternatieve Chinese munteenheden recentelijk geschreven, en ik ben nu druk bezig om oude boeken over Chinese amuletten te importeren op Wikimedia Commons, ik heb ook recentelijk toestemming gekregen om alle afbeeldingen van kèpèng van Dr. Luke Roberts te importeren naar Wikimedia Commons en hij heeft ook veel afbeeldingen van Javaanse imitaties van kèpèng-munten (Javaans: Picis). --Donald Trung (talk) 11:01, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Bamboo tallies (ik weet er geen Nederlands woord voor), daarvan heb ik een paar in mijn verzameling. Mij is verteld (maar ik heb er geen enkel bewijs voor) dat een aantal jaren geleden nog dergelijke stukjes bamboe werden gebruikt in sommige restaurants in China, op de manier waarop je bij de kassa een bestelbonnetje krijgt als je hebt betaald. De ober die de bestelling brengt neemt dat dan weer mee. Quistnix (talk) 11:33, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Mooi dat jij d'r een paar hebt, er zijn letterlijk geen enkele afbeeldingen van op Wikimedia Commons en ik moet nog met Vladimir Belyaev erover hebben. Kèpèng-munten worden zelfs vandaag in een ezel-burger resteurant geaccepteerd. Helaas heb ik niet veel over bamboe "tallies" kunnen vinden anders dan wat Gary Ashkenazy en Vladimir Belyaev erover hebben geschreven, zelfs in het Traditioneel Chinees kan ik er niet veel online over vinden. --Donald Trung (talk) 11:41, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Ik kon dit raar genoeg niet opslaan. --Donald Trung (talk) 11:41, 17 May 2018 (UTC) waarom neem je trouwens geen bot-archief en laat het om de 180 of 365 dagen archiveren? --Donald Trung (talk) 11:43, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Japanse en Koreaanse amuletten
Voor het geval dat dit je wellicht interesseert zijn er nu artikelen over Japanse amuletten en Koreaanse amuletten, helaas kon ik zo goed als geen informatie vinden dus neem ik er geen trots in, maar ik maak ze in de hoop dat mensen ze in de toekomst flink wat gaan uitbreiden. --Donald Trung (talk) 20:32, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Viëtnamese amuletten
Ik heb een paar dagen geleden een artikel over Viëtnamese amuletten geschreven, daarin staat onder andere beschreven hoe tijdens de Amerikaanse oorlog er veel amuletten werden gemaakt om aan buitenlanders die in antiek geïnteresseerd waren te verkopen, maar omdat wij duizend jaar lang een Chinese provincie waren zijn Viëtnamese amuletten zo goed als gelijk aan Chinese amuletten, verder gebruikte de officiële uitgaven van de regering meer "amulet inscripties" dan in China. Ik hoop dat je wat leert van dit artikel.

Trouwens, verzamel jij trouwens ook deze amuletten (en die van Japan en Korea)? --Donald Trung (talk) 11:09, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Dank je, interessante materie. Ik verzamel op dit gebied in principe alles dat ik kan vinden, maar ik ben tegenwoordig zeer terughoudend vanwege de vele vervalsingen die in omloop zijn. Deze worden steeds kunstiger uitgevoerd en ik wantrouw alles op het gebied van oosters antiek wanneer ik de verkoper niet ken. Quistnix (talk) 12:37, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Symbolen op Chinese amuletten
Zoals je kan zien heb ik hier een lijst toegevoegd met verschillende symbolen die op Chinese amuletten voorkomen gemaakt, de lijst is nog niet compleet maar om eerlijk te zijn is het mijn droom om een afbeelding in deze lijst (dus op Wikimedia Commons) van elk symbool te hebben, hoeveel van deze verschillende symbolen heb jij? --Donald Trung (talk) 05:05, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Evil spirits and bogies beware!
I just wanted to inform you that I wrote the article Lei Ting curse charm and want to request your help in listing all the magic spell incantations (inscriptions or legends) of these Chinese amulets, so far I've only been able to get these 4 (four) but I know that there are a lot more, in fact on Wikimedia Commons we have several variants not listed here. Do you think that you can help with this article or are you still too busy in real life? And either way I think that those articles on Chinese coinages on Dutch Wikipedia should get precedent over this one. Cheers, --Donald Trung (talk) 21:14, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * This can be difficult. I have no more than two different types, as far as I can remember. I keep most of my charms in a safe place, and they are not directly accessible. I might have a look in the near future. And you are right about the articles on nl:, I am very sorry that I haven't done anything lately. Regards, Quistnix (talk) 19:37, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Lijst van Chinese kèpèng-munten
Zie graag het artikel "Lijst van Chinese kèpèng-munten", als ik een aantal fouten heb gemaakt hoor ik dat graag. --Donald Trung (talk) 18:58, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Applause (musical)

Applause is a musical with a book by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, lyrics by Lee Adams, and music by Charles Strouse. The musical is based on the 1950 film All About Eve and the short story on which the movie is based, Mary Orr's "The Wisdom of Eve". The story centers on aging star Margo Channing, who innocently takes a fledgling actress under her wing, unaware that the ruthless Eve is plotting to steal her career and her man.

The musical opened on Broadway on March 30, 1970, running for 896 performances. The production was nominated for ten Tony Awards and ultimately won four: the overall production won the Tony Award for Best Musical, Lauren Bacall won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, and Ron Field won both the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical and the Tony Award for Best Choreography.

History
Composer Charles Strouse and lyricist Lee Adams (who had previously collaborated on the score to Bye Bye Birdie, among others) wanted to write a musical version of the 1950 movie, All About Eve. However, Twentieth Century Fox, which owned the rights to the movie, refused to grant them the rights to the script or the title. They were, however, able to purchase the stage rights to the short story on which All About Eve had been based, Mary Orr's "The Wisdom of Eve". The resulting musical could not contain any dialogue or characters that had been created for the movie but could use the original material that the movie also used. In April 1969, it was announced that Strouse, Adams, and book writer Sidney Michaels were beginning to work on the show, with Lawrence Kasha and Joseph Kipness producing. In July 1969, movie star Lauren Bacall was cast as aging theater star Margo Channing, the role played by Bette Davis in All About Eve. Bacall greatly identified with the role, explaining, "The Margo Channing of Applause and myself were ideally suited. She was approaching middle age. So was I. She was being forced to face the fact that her career would have to move into another phase as younger women came along to do younger parts.  So was I.  And she constantly felt that the man she was in love with was going to go off with someone else, someone younger of course, and I, too, had had those feelings".

Bacall, Strouse, Adams, and Kasha came to the conclusion that Michaels' book was insufficient, so Kasha hired Betty Comden and Adolph Green to write a new book. They updated the story so that it was set in the present day (1970) instead of the 1950 setting of All About Eve. Comden and Green also created new characters to replace the characters created specifically for the movie. Addison de Witt, the snide and articulate drama critic played in the film by George Sanders, was replaced by Howard Benedict, producer of the play in which Margo Channing is appearing. Margo's loyal assistant Birdie Coonan, the only character in the film who is suspicious of Eve from the start, was replaced by Duane Fox, Margo's gay hair stylist. Strouse commented that this change also made the show more relevant to the 1970s. (A memorable moment: Margo asks Duane, "Are you going to be her hairdresser too?" Duane's response: "Only when she's laid out!") At a later point, Twentieth Century Fox reversed its original decision and granted the musical's creators full rights to All About Eve's script; however, by that time, the show was so far along in its development that major changes could not be made to the book. However, Strouse and Adams did write a song based on one of the film's most famous lines, "Fasten Your Seat Belts".

Production history
The Broadway production opened on March 30, 1970, at the Palace Theatre, and closed on May 27, 1972, after 896 performances and four previews. The closing date has also been reported as July 27, 1972. Directed and choreographed by Ron Field with orchestrations by Philip J. Lang, the original cast included Lauren Bacall, Len Cariou, Penny Fuller, Bonnie Franklin, Lee Roy Reams, Robert Mandan, Brandon Maggart, Ann Williams, and Nicholas Dante.

When Bacall's contract was up in 1971, Bacall went on tour with the show. The producers initially decided to cast film legend Rita Hayworth as a replacement for the role of Margo on Broadway. Hayworth was very interested and flew to New York to audition for the role. However, unbeknownst to anyone at the time, Hayworth was suffering from the beginning stages of Alzheimer's disease and could not retain lyrics or dialogue. Anne Baxter, who had portrayed Eve in the original film, replaced Bacall as Margo Channing. When Baxter departed the show in 1972, actress Arlene Dahl replaced her for one month before the show closed.

The musical was later adapted for television, starring Bacall, with Larry Hagman replacing Len Cariou in the role of Bill Sampson. It aired in the United States on CBS on March 15, 1973. It has not been released commercially, but it is available for viewing at the Paley Center for Media (formerly The Museum of Television & Radio) in New York City and Beverly Hills, California.

The musical opened in the West End at Her Majesty's Theatre on November 16, 1972, and ran for 382 performances. Lauren Bacall starred, along with Ken Walsh (Bill Sampson), Angela Richards (Eve Harrington), Eric Flynn (Duane Fox), Basil Hoskins (Howard Benedict), and Sarah Marshall (Karen Richards).

The Australian production with Eve Arden and Judi Connelli opened at the Metro Theatre in Kings Cross, Sydney in December 1975.

In 1980 Antonello Falqui directed the original Italian production at Teatro Nazionale in Milan and Teatro Sistina in Rome. It started Rossella Falk (Margo Channing), Ivana Monti (Eva), Gianni Bonagura (Mike), Liù Bosisio (Karen), and Gino Pernice (Duane).

New York City Center's Encores! presented a staged concert of Applause from February 7 to 10, 2008. It was directed by Kathleen Marshall and starred Christine Ebersole, Michael Park, Erin Davie, Megan Sikora, Mario Cantone, Tom Hewitt, Chip Zien, and Kate Burton.

The Library Theatre Company in Manchester produced a UK revival of the show in 1987 starring Josephine Blake, Kathryn Evans and David Dale. It was directed by Paul Kerryson.

In the fall of 1996, the musical was revised for a Broadway-bound tour that began at Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, New Jersey starring Stefanie Powers (Margo) and Kate Jennings Grant (Eve) under the direction of Gene Saks, and choreographed by Ann Reinking. Produced by Barry and Fran Weissler, the tour visited Tampa, Baltimore, Grand Rapids, and Columbus where the closing notice was posted on November 24, 1996.

Porchlight Music Theatre presented Applause as a part of their "Porchlight Revisits" season in which they stage three forgotten musicals per year. It was in Chicago, Illinois, in March 2016. It was directed and choreographed by Christopher Pazdernik and music directed by Nick Sula.

Act One
Middle-aged actress Margo Channing presents the Tony Award to rising star Eve Harrington, who graciously thanks "my producer, my director, my writer and above all, Margo Channing". In flashback, Margo recalls the opening night for one of her plays a year-and a-half before, when Eve entered her life. Margo's admirers crowd her dressing room and fill the air with "Backstage Babble". Among the admirers is Eve, a young woman who says that she, alone and friendless in New York, has found solace in watching her hero, Margo, perform. As soon as Margo can be alone with Bill Sampson, her director and fiancé, she tries to convince him to stay with her and not go to Rome to direct a movie. Bill firmly but lovingly tells her goodbye ("Think How It's Gonna Be"). Margo dreads facing the opening night party alone, and, wanting to have a good time, she persuades, Duane, her gay hairdresser, to take her and Eve to a gay nightclub in Greenwich Village ("But Alive"). The lively evening ends back at Margo's apartment. Eve declares that it has been the best time she's ever had ("The Best Night of My Life"). Margo, seeing her 19-year-old self in one of her old movies on TV, senses the impact her increasing age will have on her career and sarcastically asks "Who's That Girl?".

Four months later, Eve has become Margo's indispensable assistant, impressing Margo's close friends, including her producer, Howard Benedict. Howard takes Eve to a "gypsy" hangout. "Gypsy," Howard explains,"is the name dancers affectionately give themselves as they go camping from show to show." The "gypsies", led by one of their own, Bonnie, celebrate "the sound that says love" – "Applause". That night, at three a.m. after a phone call from Bill in Rome, Margo longingly wishes he would "Hurry Back". Bill arranges to hurry back two weeks later, but at Margo's welcome home party for him a misunderstanding leads to a disastrous evening ("Fasten Your Seat Belts"). Eve, as Margo's ever-present assistant, knows Margo's part in the play completely, and Eve contrives to get herself hired as Margo's understudy. Margo, feeling betrayed and threatened, faces Eve with an ironic "Welcome to the Theatre". Bill accuses her of being paranoid about Eve, and after a bitter fight, he says goodbye to Margo, ending his relationship with her. Margo is left alone on an empty stage.

Act Two
Margo is visiting her friends, playwright Buzz Richards and his wife Karen, in their Connecticut home. Karen, thinking Margo behaved unfairly to Eve, arranges for Margo to miss a performance by draining the car's gas tank so they cannot return to New York in time for the evening's performance. Stuck in the country for the night, they express their warm feelings as "Good Friends". Back in New York, Eve gives a triumphant performance in Margo's role. Howard again takes Eve to the "gypsy" hangout where she snubs Bonnie and her friends, who do a scathing parody of a girl who becomes an overnight star ("She's No Longer a Gypsy").

Margo is devastated when she reads a nasty interview that Eve has given in which she refers to "aging stars." Bill now realizes what Eve's true intentions are and rushes back full of love for Margo, telling her she's "One of a Kind". Margo, though, is too focused on her career to want to return to Bill. Eve, who has made an unsuccessful pass at Bill, ensnares the playwright, Buzz, and she rejoices that she now has a man who can help her career ("One Hallowe'en"). Her plans with Buzz are crushed by Howard who claims her for himself, telling her "We both know what you want and you know I'm the one who can get it for you" – Eve needs Howard's influence as a producer as well as his silence concerning her devious rise to stardom.

Margo seems to have lost everything because of Eve, but suddenly she realizes she could be the winner because she now has a chance at "Something Greater" – a life with Bill. In the finale, she and Bill join with everybody answering the question "why do we live this crazy life?" – "Applause".

Emory River

The Emory River is a river draining a portion of Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau. It flows for just over 46 mi from its source near Frozen Head State Park to its mouth along the Clinch River at Kingston, Tennessee.

Hydrography
The Emory River rises on the slopes of Fork Mountain and descends through a valley along the northern base of Bird Mountain, a prominent ridge in Frozen Head State Park in Morgan County. The surrounding area has been the subject of extensive strip mining for coal which has resulted in some stream pollution. The stream initially flows basically westward and is crossed by U.S. Highway 27. Turning more southwestward, it is paralleled for a time by a line of the Norfolk Southern Railway. It meets the Obed River in the southeast corner of the expansive Catoosa Wildlife Management Area, a large game-management area operated by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

Still paralleled by the railroad, the stream crosses into Roane County near Harriman. Backwaters of the Watts Bar Lake impoundment of the Tennessee River cause the water below Harriman to be somewhat slack. The Little Emory River is also impounded somewhat above its mouth into the Emory below Harriman.

The mouth of the Emory is into the Clinch River at the Tennessee Valley Authority's Kingston Power Plant, a coal-fired electric generation station initially developed during World War II, largely to power the uranium enrichment plants used to make the world's first atomic bomb at nearby Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The 2008 Kingston Fossil Plant coal fly ash slurry spill heavily polluted the Emory River and surrounding area.

Etymology
According to a 1910 article in the Rockwood Times by Captain William E. McElwee, the river was named after "William Emery", an early traveler who drowned while swimming the river with his "accoutrements" on. Early deed books sometimes refer to this as "William Emeries River". The Indian name for the Emory River was "Babahatchie", which means "babbling waters."

Georgia State Route 141

State Route 141 (SR 141) is a 34.1 mi state highway that runs southwest-to-northeast in the northwest part of the U.S. state of Georgia. It connects the Buckhead area of Atlanta with Cumming. Its routing exists within portions of Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Forsyth counties.

Route description
SR 141 begins at an intersection with US 19/SR 9 (Roswell Road NE) in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta, in Fulton County. It travels to the northeast to an intersection with SR 237 (Piedmont Road NE). Just after that intersection, it goes over, but does not have an interchange with SR 400 (T. Harvey Mathis Parkway). Immediately after is the southern terminus of SR 141 Connector (Lenox Road NE). The highway passes just northwest of the Buckhead Heights neighborhood, crosses into DeKalb County, and passes through Brookhaven. SR 141 passes Oglethorpe University and the Peachtree Golf Club, just before passing through Chamblee. In Doraville, it has an intersection with SR 13 Connector and an interchange with Interstate 285 (I-285). The road becomes a freeway on the northeast of the interchange, served by a pair of one-way frontage roads with "Texas U-turns"; it has a few exits along its length. It enters Gwinnett County near the middle of the freeway; near the end of the freeway is SR 140 where it is called Peachtree Parkway. It passes through Peachtree Corners. Then, it crosses over the Chattahoochee River back into Fulton County. It travels through Johns Creek and meets SR 120 (Abbotts Bridge Road). Northeast of there, it enters Forsyth County. The roadway curves to the northwest and then to the north. It has an interchange with US 19/SR 400 (Hospitality Highway), southwest of Cumming. Until 2020, SR 141 ended just to the northwest at SR 9, but it was extended north on Bethelview Road where it now ends at SR 20. SR 371 was removed from the state highway system as a mileage swap in order to add Bethelview Road to the state highway system.

All of SR 141 from its southern terminus in Buckhead to a point southwest of Duluth is part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.

Atlanta connector route
State Route 141 Connector (SR 141 Conn.) is a 0.9 mi connecting route of SR 141 that exists entirely within the Buckhead section of Atlanta, in eastern Fulton County. It is known as Lenox Road NE, as well as Paul Coverdell Memorial Parkway, for its entire length. It was built in the early 1990s in conjunction with SR 400 to serve area businesses and offices.

It begins at an intersection with the SR 141 mainline (Peachtree Road NE) just northwest of the Buckhead Heights neighborhood of Atlanta. The highway heads northwest, curves to the west-southwest underneath, where it crosses SR 400 (T. Harvey Mathis Parkway) with a single-point urban interchange. It curves to the southwest to meet its northern terminus, an intersection with SR 237 (Piedmont Road NE), at the Buckhead Forest neighborhood of Atlanta.

SR 141 Conn. is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.

Gwinnett County connector route
State Route 141 Connector (SR 141 Conn.) is a .8 mile long (1.3 km) connecting route of SR 141 that exists entirely within Gwinnett County. It is just west of Norcross. The route at SR 140 (Jimmy Carter Boulevard) and goes north along a frontage road parallel to SR 141/Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. After the split of SR 141 and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, SR 141 Conn. merges with Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. The route then turns left onto Holcomb Bridge Road and ends at the intersection of Holcomb Bridge Road and SR 141. The route connects traffic from SR 140 to SR 141 north, since there is no direct entrance ramp between these two roads. SR 141 Conn. south does not exist because traffic can exit from SR 141 south directly to SR 140.

Peachtree Industrial Boulevard
Peachtree Industrial Boulevard is a road in the U.S. state of Georgia that begins in Chamblee and ends in Buford. Between Interstate 285 and SR 140 (Jimmy Carter Boulevard), the road is concurrent with SR 141. North of SR 140, in Peachtree Corners, Peachtree Industrial Boulevard splits from SR 141 and continues to the northeast as a highway with at least four lanes and center median, traveling through the cities of Peachtree Corners, Duluth, Suwanee, Sugar Hill, and Buford. The portion of the road concurrent with SR 141 is maintained by the state; the rest is maintained by Gwinnett County.

Peachtree Industrial Boulevard was originally built in the 1960s. The portion of the road concurrent to SR 141 was upgraded to a limited-access highway in the 1980s and 1990s.

In 2008, the section within the city limits of Chamblee was renamed to Peachtree Boulevard, to reflect the changing nature of the city. Prior to this change, the "industrial" name extended until Peachtree Road merges in near the city line with present-day Brookhaven. In November 2018, the Doraville City Council passed a resolution to authorize the city manager to rename Peachtree Industrial Boulevard within the city limits to Peachtree Boulevard, following the changes made by Chamblee. This change was implemented in 2023.

In 2013, Gwinnett County decreased the speed limit the road to 45 mph between SR 141 (Peachtree Parkway) and SR 20 (Nelson Brogdon Boulevard) and 50 mph between SR 20 and the Hall County line. The goal of the change was to reduce speeding and accidents.

In June 2018, the Atlanta Regional Commission Board approved funding to equip intersections along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard with connected vehicle technology.

Gwinnett County has looked at adding and improving sidewalks along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.

The Western Gwinnett Bikeway is a multi-use trail under construction along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.

Orphaned segments
There are six road segments that previously carried State Route 141 or a derivative designation that no longer do.

 * 1)  What is now Georgia SR 371 once was SR 141 between Georgia SR 9 and SR 20. It was changed to its present number in 1971.  It was removed from the state highway system in 2020 when SR 141 was extended north along Bethelview Road, essentially replacing its original route with a new alignment.
 * 2)  The State Route 141 designation was previously used in DeKalb County between Tucker and US 78 in what is now Stone Mountain Park on what is now Hugh Howell Highway (SR 236) which was at the time named Rosser Road.
 * 3) Prior to construction of Peachtree Parkway and the extension and re-routing of SR 141 to Buckhead, SR 141 followed what is present day Medlock Bridge Road from its current intersection with Peachtree Parkway, into downtown Norcross and became North Peachtree Road, crossed the railroad tracks at Park Street, and then traveled on South Peachtree until its terminus at Buford Highway (SR 13). When plans were drawn to re-route SR 141 to its present alignment, GDOT changed the designation of this roadway to SR 141 Connector.  This designation stayed in effect until 1981, when this segment was turned over to the county and converted to local roads. What is now SR 141 between the Buckhead junction with Roswell Road (SR 9) and Motors Industrial Way (present day SR 13 Connector) was designated along with Motors Industrial Way as SR 13W before it was made part of the newly aligned SR 141.
 * 4) With the construction of Interstate 85, Norcross Tucker road, which at the time was a contiguous road, was designated SR 141 Connector, and the small segment of South Peachtree Road between Buford Highway and Norcross Tucker Road was redesigned SR 141 Spur. The South Peachtree Road (SR 141 Spur) was converted to a local road in 1981 along with truncation of SR 141 Connector to Norcross Tucker Road between South Peachtree Rd in Norcross and Interstate 85.
 * 5) As Jimmy Carter Boulevard was constructed in the 1970s, Norcross Tucker Road was split into North Norcross Tucker Road and South Norcross Tucker Road, and a portion of the road was incorporated into Jimmy Carter Boulevard. In 1981, Jimmy Carter Boulevard was designated as SR 141 Connector between Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Interstate 85. It was converted to State Route 140 in 1984-1985 timeframe and the SR 141 Connector designation was used for what is present day SR 141 Connector at the 141/Peachtree Industrial Boulevard interchange when the Jimmy Carter Boulevard/SR 141 intersection was upgraded to a grade separated intersection.
 * 6)  The 17.5 mile segment of State Route 369 East of SR 9 from North of Cumming to Gainesville was designated as SR 141 until 1970, when it was extended west to SR 20, and redesigned to its present-day number.

Kniphofia

Kniphofia is a genus of perennial flowering plants in the family Asphodelaceae, first described as a genus in 1794. All species of Kniphofia are native to Africa. Common names include tritoma, red hot poker, torch lily and poker plant.

Description
The genus has herbaceous and evergreen species. The herbaceous species and hybrids have narrow, grass-like leaves 10 - 100 cm long, while evergreen species have broader, strap-shaped foliage up to 1.5 m long. All plants produce spikes of upright, brightly coloured flowers well above the foliage, in shades of red, orange and yellow, often bicoloured. The flowers produce copious nectar while blooming and are attractive to bees and sunbirds. In the New World, they may attract nectarivores such as hummingbirds and New World orioles.
