National Medal of Arts

The National Medal of Arts is an award and title created by the United States Congress in 1984, for the purpose of honoring artists and patrons of the arts. A prestigious American honor, it is the highest honor given to artists and arts patrons by the United States government. Nominations are submitted to the National Council on the Arts, the advisory committee of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), who then submits its recommendations to the White House for the President of the United States to award. The medal was designed for the NEA by sculptor Robert Graham.

Laureates
In 1983, prior to the official establishment of the National Medal of Arts, through the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities, President Ronald Reagan awarded a medal to artists and arts patrons.

Recipients of the National Medal of Arts
The National Medal of Arts was first awarded in 1985. The ceremony was not held in 2021 or 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic therefore the 2021 recipients were given the award in 2023.

Declined honors
In 1989, composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein refused his award, allegedly due to how a federal grant to an art show on AIDS had been revoked.

In 1992, composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim refused his award, claiming that the NEA had "become a victim of its own and others' political infighting and is rapidly being transformed into a conduit and a symbol of censorship and repression rather than encouragement and support".

In 1997, poet Adrienne Rich refused her award as a protest against "inconsistencies" between art and "the cynical politics" of the Clinton administration.

Voices on the Verge

Voices on the Verge was an American folk, country, and rock band formed as a collaboration between four young, formerly-independent, female musicians: Jess Klein, Erin McKeown, Rose Polenzani, and Beth Amsel.

The group formed in 1998 as a way to show the merits of each artist. They mostly played songs that one of the artists had previously written and recorded separately. The four artists were able to add harmonies and dynamics not present on individual recordings of their songs.

Their music was often compared to Ani DiFranco or Dar Williams. The group no longer plays together as a group, but, all four artists are still recording and performing separately. Their only CD, Live in Philadelphia, was released on October 2, 2001 on the Rykodisc label.

Talk:The Anarchists

Disclaimer
I think the disclaimer—"book concerns libertarian socialism, individualist anarchism and anarcho-syndicalism, but does not mention anarcho-capitalism"—is necessary because some people equate anarchism with capitalist anarchism, and this clarifies what the book is about. Not everyone knows what anarchism is! -- Sam Francis 16:19, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * anyone who equates anarchism with anarcho-capitalism obviously doesn't know what anarchism is.

Talk:Château d'Yquem

Noble Rot
Having the generic (Latin) term is perhaps good but having the French one is even better. IIRC it's pourriture noble. You might also link in WP's own article.

Discussion header
Can one glass per vine really be correct - their vineyard would have to be huge. Rmhermen 16:19, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * According to their site, they harvest approximately 9 hectolitres per hectare, so 900 litres. If you define a glass as 150ml (a fifth of a bottle) then you need a density of 6000 vines/ha. I couldn't find numbers for d'Yquem, but La Tour has a density of 6200 vines/ha. A glass per vine is entirely possible, but I certainly agree that I was surprised. Also, the d'Yquem vineyard has approximately 100ha of producing vines, so 90,000 litres per year is their capacity, so 120,000 bottles. Walter Moar 21:28, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Botyrization?

 * However, at that time the technique of botyrization of Sauternes had not yet been discovered, so the wine Jefferson was drinking was a different, though still fine, sweet wine.

What is "botyrization"? A Google search of the word turns up nothing, and it appears nowhere else in Wikipedia. --TreyHarris 22:44, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Good catch. The word is clearly derived from Botrytis, and I at first just linked it to noble rot. (This is a fungus which rots the grapes in a beneficial way). I looked for some spellings:

So while the first is clearly wrong, none of the others are much better. I'll reword it somehow. Notinasnaid 08:43, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * botyrization - no hits in Google (not even this page, oddly)
 * botrytization - 23 hits in Google
 * botrytisation - 197 hits in Google, but most in the French language
 * botrytisization, botrytisisation - no hits in Google
 * Well, there is no such thing as botrytization. It happens naturally, it's not a technique. Now, maybe the contributor meant the process of waiting for botrytis to infect the grapes. Yquem does make a non-botrytized dry wine called Ygrec, which might be worth mentioning in this context. Wnissen 06:21, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's botrytisation. Botrytis, botrytised, botrytis-ation. As in "highly botrytised" and so on. Philip Howard 16:58, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Recent Publicity
The BBC had an item on D'Yquem recently, about an C18 bottle which sold for £58,000. It might be worth mentioning to show the sort of prices the Chateau can command.

The Château d'Yquem 1811 "Comet Vintage" is the most expensive bottle of wine. In fact, the two highest-priced bottles were auctioned at £78,105 and £75,000, respectively: www.telegraph.co.uk/luxury/drinking-and-dining/chteau-dyquem-1811-sells-for-75000/ www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2018895/Worlds-expensive-white-wine-sold-75-000-1811-Ch-teau-dYquem.html

Robert Parker, Jr. of The Wine Advocate has given it a perfect rating of 100 points, so this vintage should be the first entry in "Great Vintage" table.

rating
the statement 'Château d'Yquem was the only Sauternes given this rating' but weren't they the only Château of any region/red/white to get the Supérieur rating? This would be much better in the article as they are 'unique'. Link: Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855 Ctbolt 03:57, 21 July 2007 (UTC) As best as I can remember, the 1855 classification had vineyards for some red wines listed as Grand Cru, and further separated them into 1st through 5th growths. The best desert wines of Sauternes and Barsac were designated Grand Cru, and further separated into 1st and 2nd growths. Chateau d'Yquem was the exception, as it was the only vineyard to get the Superieur label. There are many books that talk about this, and even more on-line articles exist, e.g., .

Pronunciation?
I was surprised to find no pronunciation guidance—can someone with knowledge of both the pronunciation and IPA add it? Thanks! 209.6.154.66 (talk) 15:04, 24 December 2007 (UTC) —johndburger 15:10, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

South Ruislip station

South Ruislip is a station served by London Underground and Chiltern Railways in South Ruislip in West London. The station is owned, managed and staffed by London Underground. The station is in Travelcard Zone 5.

History

The GWR/GCR Joint line to High Wycombe carried services from both Paddington and Marylebone. They met at Northolt Junction, situated slightly to the east of the station, from where four tracks ran westwards to Ruislip Gardens and West Ruislip; there the route shrank to two tracks only. Opened on 1 May 1908 and originally known as Northolt Junction, the station became South Ruislip & Northolt Junction from September 1932 and received its present name on 30 June 1947. In October 1942, a Wellington bomber flying to the nearby airfield at RAF Northolt crashed near the station, killing all the crew and six civilians.

The station was designed by Brian Lewis and F.F.C. Curtis and first served by Central line trains on 21 November 1948 when the Central line extension from London towards West Ruislip was completed after being delayed by World War II. The rounded booking hall was not completed until 1960. The concrete, glass and granite chip frieze in the booking hall is one of the earliest public works by glass artist, Henry Haig.

In late 1973 and early 1974 the track layout was simplified and the manual signal box was removed in early 1990, along with other manual signal boxes on this line, and its function replaced by colour light signalling and power operated points, both controlled from Marylebone. The track alignments were improved to allow higher speed running at the junction for the services from Marylebone, and the pointwork which had allowed trains from Paddington to call at the westbound Chiltern station platform was removed. All eastbound services were moved to the former through road; the eastbound road, which had formerly extended from the platform road at West Ruislip, was closed and lifted, and the eastbound platform widened. The alignment of the turnout towards Marylebone was improved to allow higher-speed running. Fragments of the old trackwork can still be seen to the north of the line at this point. The trackwork at this station has been upgraded and now permits higher speed running up to 100 mph.

The station was transferred from the Western Region of British Rail to the London Midland Region on 24 March 1974.

The station today
Ticket barriers control access to all platforms.

A large West London Waste Authority bulk rubbish handling depot lies to the east of the station which sees a daily waste train in operation. There is also a single-track connection with the Acton–Northolt line.

The lines to Marylebone formerly passed either side of West Waste. As part of Chiltern Railways' Evergreen 3 route improvements works, Northolt Junction was remodelled and included provision to the north of the waste transfer depot of a new down main line alongside the existing up main to allow services to be accelerated. The new down main line has a line speed limit of 100 mph compared with the former 60 mph. The existing down main was remodelled to become the down loop line, used by trains stopping at South Ruislip station.

The bridge outside which carries the lines over Station Approach is lower than others locally at 11 ft and is often hit by high vehicles. Either side of it, false deck beams have been installed so the danger of any impacts causing damage to the bridge itself has been lessened.

National Rail
National Rail services at South Ruislip are operated by Chiltern Railways.

The station's weekday off-peak service pattern is unusual in that it's served by trains at different frequencies in each direction. The station is served by one train every two hours to London Marylebone and one train per hour to High Wycombe. Services to and from London operate as stopping services calling at most stations. Additional services call at the station during the peak hours.

On weekends, the service is increased to hourly in each direction and northbound services are extended beyond High Wycombe to and from Aylesbury via Princes Risborough.

London Underground
The typical off-peak London Underground service on the Central line in trains per hour is:
 * 9 tph to West Ruislip
 * 9 tph to Epping

Additional services call at the station during the peak hours, increasing the service to up to 12 tph in each direction.

Connections
London Buses routes 114 and E7 serve the station.

Jaume Plensa

Jaume Plensa i Suñé (born 23 August 1955) is a Spanish visual artist, sculptor, designer and engraver. He has also created opera sets, video projections and acoustic installations.

Biography
Plensa was born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. He left the studies of fine arts in Barcelona and continued to train in a self-taught way.

Works
Plensa's works include the Crown Fountain at Millennium Park in Chicago, Illinois, which opened in July 2004. The fountain is composed of a black granite reflecting pool placed between a pair of glass brick towers. The towers are 50 ft tall, and they use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to display digital videos on the inward faces. In the summer of 2007, he participated in the Chicago public art exhibit, Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet.

Another Plensa piece is Blake in Gateshead in North East England, a laser beam that on special occasions shines high into the night sky over Gateshead's Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art.

In 2007, working closely with a group of local ex-miners, he was also commissioned to create a new work on the landmark site of a former colliery near St Helens, Merseyside, as part of the Big Art Project, a major national public art initiative linked to Channel 4. Unveiled in spring 2009, Dream consists of an elongated white structure 20 m tall, weighing 500 tons, which has been carved to resemble the head and neck of a young woman with her eyes closed in meditation. The structure is coated in sparkling white Spanish dolomite, as a contrast to the coal which used to be mined there.

On 16 June 2008, Plensa's sculpture of a listening glass entitled Breathing was dedicated by the incumbent Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, as a memorial to journalists killed whilst undertaking their work. The sculpture in steel and glass sits atop a new wing of Broadcasting House in London. At 22:00 GMT each evening a beam of light will be projected from the sculpture extending 1 km into the sky for 30 minutes to coincide with the BBC News at Ten.

In 2010, Plensa's Alchemist was installed in front of the Stratton Student Center, facing the main entrance of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is a large, hollow seated figure similar to other contemporary Plensa figures, except that it is composed of numerals and mathematical symbols, to honor MIT's traditional STEM-focused teaching and research. The sculpture was donated anonymously on the occasion of MIT's 150th anniversary.

On 21 September 2010, Spillover II was unveiled in Atwater Park in Shorewood, Wisconsin, United States. A 260 cm (102 in) tall statue consisting of steel letters welded together in the shape of a man on top of a concrete base.

El alma del Ebro was created for the International Exposition in Zaragoza, the theme of which was "Water and Sustainable Development". It is eleven meters high, the sculpted letters representing cells of the human body which is over 60% water. Its white letters and hollow structure invite the viewer to look inside and reflect on the relationship between human beings and water. A similar sculpture entitled Singapore Soul (2011) was installed in front of the Ocean Financial Centre in Singapore. And an ensemble piece entitled I, You, She, He... with three figures composed of the letters, each seated on large flat boulders, can be seen at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

From May to mid-August 2011, the work Echo was displayed in Madison Square Park in Manhattan.

In November 2012, the Albright–Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York unveiled a 32-ton sculpture by Plensa called Laura. The 20 ft tall sculpture is composed of 20 massive pieces of marble from the south of Spain.

In 2013, Plensa installed a sculpture named Ainsa I at the entrance of the Olin Business School of Washington University in St. Louis.

In 2017, Love was installed in the Frisian city of Leeuwarden, Netherlands.

In 2019, the MACBA Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona organized the most ambitious solo exhibition in his hometown, curated by the museum's director, Ferran Barenblit. The exhibition traveled to the Museum of Modern Art Moscow, where it achieved notable success.

In 2020, Dreaming was installed outside of the Richmond-Adelaide Centre in Toronto. Also in 2020, Behind the Walls was installed outside the University of Michigan Museum of Art.

Water's Soul (2021) is along the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway in the Newport section of Jersey City.

Error on Best Selling Video Game Franchises List
Hi,

I have noticed that you have recently made edits on the Best Selling Video Game Franchises List, which undid some of the typing I did. Problem is, now there is a Cite web error on the page and I am not sure what is causing it. Do you know how you can fix it?

And this part is just a postscript but you said that there is no sales figure source in the PDF, and this isn't true. The sales figure is in the PDF file, in page 7. The reason why it's not easy to find it is because the text that mention the sales figure is like a picture, you can't select, cut, copy, and paste with it. It may take a while, but you should see the 88.7 million sales figure. BlueCrystal7897 (talk) 23:43, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The PDF that you first linked before I replaced it, Sony's March 1, 2023 statement, didn't mention anything about Battlefield sales figures. Since all the text was searchable in that particular file, I wasn't able to find anything about specific sales figures for the Battlefield series, so I removed it. That's when I looked at the other citations. It turns out that the IGN article actually was reporting from a PC Gamer article about the same thing, and both of them were linking to an earlier statement made by Sony on October 28, 2022, which was actually the most recent statement Sony made to the CMA at the time those articles were written, making the 2023 statement even less useful, so I changed to linked PDF to that statement. And I already figured out as I made my edits that the sales figures were somehow embedded as an image in the 2022 PDF instead of searchable text; I don't know why the text in that PDF switch between from embedded text to embedded images, but I consider that a moot point now.

 * As for the Cite web error, I just checked the article and it looks like it's already resolved; turns out that somehow I entered a line break in the title field. with Citation bot since you left your message, so the error is no longer there. –WPA (talk) 05:17, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Summary Deletion
It accomplishes nothing positive to delete an action and state that one should not go about things in a particular way, or for a particular reason, without actually explaining how one should use the metro navbox as I did. Telling me I did something you consider wrong and providing a partial explanation does not lead to improving one's techniques, assuming that is what you had in mind with this public slap-down. Hushpuckena (talk) 01:23, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
 * You didn't actually add the Greater Boston navbox to the article; you added its source text (the full wikitext you see when editing the page using the source editor) to the page. Navboxes only need the name of the template (without the "Template:" namespace prefix at the beginning) added between a pair of curly brackets (i.e. ) when adding it to an article or any other page on Wikipedia. The Navbox template itself should only be used on navigational template pages so that adding a navbox to an article would be easily transcluded as I explained. The fact that there was already a different navbox used on the page should've been easy enough to tell you how a navbox template is properly called upon for an article.
 * Also, there's no need to get so personal and accusational about a simple undo. Edit summaries have a maximum character limit, much of which was taken up by the added placeholder "Undid revision" text. I was not doing anything more than undo your edit and provide that brief summary; there's no need to get worked up about it. –WPA (talk) 02:15, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina

comment
'' "Economic data are of limited use because, although both entities issue figures, national-level statistics are not available." '' - I'm confused. Which two entities issue the figures? FZ 16:25, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * The term "entity" is used in a specific BiH meaning here: it means Federation and RS. We could link the word to the political divisions page. --Shallot 11:41, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Ah, thank you. FZ 16:23, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The part about former Yugoslavia
''Of course during the former Yugoslavia economy was communist and was a centrally planned economy from Belgrade, without free market laws. So Bosnia and Herzegovina was mostly a donor republic in former Yugoslavia in money and other ways. The money during former Yugoslavia times went in one direction, out of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to Belgrade or sometimes to Zagreb and Ljubljana.''

Can someone give a source or some numbers on this one? Also, what informative purpose do phrases like "money and other ways" serve? What other ways? This is like saying "Germany produces cars and other things". The paragraph seems to present a pretty slanted point of view.

Another thing. Does the part about the Olympic games really belong in the "economy" article? As a single event of extremely doubtful significance to the economy as a whole, it seems somewhat out of place. Perhaps it belongs in the general article about the country, or the one about its history?

I don't want to make any hasty changes, but nothing here is sourced and a lot of it sounds cheesy. Tapir

Bosnia was never donor. Donor Countries in Yugoslavia were Croatia and Slovenia. Recipients were Bosnia, Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro, Serbia. Slovenia paid 25% of its annual GDP, to those less developed states, Croatia paid 11% of its annual GDP MITJA

Export and Import
Something with data regarding export and import is very wrong. One of biggest importer and exporter is Serbia. On this page of Central Bank of Bosnia and Herzegovina it is writen for whole Bosnia and Herzegovina. Data in artical are most probably just for Federation of Bosna and Herzegovina and that is just 51%.

Artical must be divided on situation in Federation and Republic of Srpska becouse they have totaly diffrent models of economy, privatisation, import-export... Statistic should be given togather and diveded becouse future of this country depends of economy.--Alexmilt (talk) 00:18, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

External link to tariff data
Hello everyone, I am working for the International Trade Centre (ITC), a UN/WTO agency that aims to promote sustainable economic development through trade promotion. I would like to propose the addition of an external link (http://www.macmap.org/QuickSearch/FindTariff/FindTariff.aspx?subsite=open_access&country=070&source=1|ITC) that leads directly to our online database of customs tariffs applied by Bosnia and Herzegovina. Visitors can easily look up market access information for Bosnia and Herzegovina by selecting the product and partner of their interest. I would like you to consider this link under the WP:ELYES #3 prescriptions. Moreover, the reliability and the pertinence of this link can be supported by the following facts 1) ITC is part of the United Nations, and aims to share trade and market access data on by country and product as a global public good 2) No registration is required to access this information 3) Market access data (Tariffs and non-tariff measures) are regularly updated

Category talk:Fraternal service organizations

New Category
After a lot of work I created this category as a sub-category of "Human societies" where it would best fit in the categorization project. The effort stemmed from a lack of sleep and being pretty upset when I saw Freemasonry and the Ku Klux Klan on the same list.

Most of the organizations had something written on them, stubs at least. I wrote stubs for Moose International and Fraternal Order of Eagles and am hopeful members from those organizations will pick up the ball from there.

Being a Senior DeMolay my focus was on the Masonic Organizations and getting them organized. I know there is another Masonic Youth Group called "Boy Builders" that existed at one time but have found nothing on it thus far, it will require more research.

I am not a Master Mason (although this work has gotten me thinking about joining lodge again) nor a member of the other rites so please, if you note any mistakes feel free to step up and correct them. I tried to write it from an unbiased point of view.

Hope all approve of the work (it took a while!).

Wgfinley 16:27, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your work WF. To further refine the categorization, I'm going to create a separate category for genealogical organizations such as the DAR, Mayflower Society, etc. There are many of them and their primary purposes are neither fraternal nor service-related (though some are male only and most perform some heritage service). Cheers-Willmcw 23:50, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)

The boy builders was a group similar to the rainbow girls, as in the boys did not have to be related to Masons. I was a Job's daughter growing up, I am 54, and I did not know the boy builders had disappeared. Our Masonic lodge had the Mason's, the order of the Eastern Star, Job's daughters and the boy builders. We were in Lombard, IL debi24.2.159.141 (talk) 01:57, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Category links
Is there a reason why this category is linked at the Secret Society category page? I don't think any of these fraternal and service organizations would count as Secret Societies. Blueboar 18:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

City of Manchester Stadium - or Etihad Stadium
Once again there seems to be an incipient edit war on the proper name for the article. This has been round the blocks several times already; but will keep coming back so long as the name 'Etihad Stdium' becomes increasingly established as the only one in current use. My own view is that the time to recognise this change of use in the name of the article is well overdue; but I fully accept that this is an issue on which a number of editors have strong views. So I am just a sounding out of whether a formal request for a name change would now be considered appropriate by other editors?

A few points I suggest as common ground:

- there are a number of established Wikipedia policies on article naming in respect of sponsored sports venues; but an absolute principle that sponsor names should be avoided is not one of them. Unless this has changed since we last discussed the change? seeArticle titles

- nevertheless; there are good grounds for Wikipedia not adopting a sponsor name simply because the stadium owner has entered into a naming deal: firstly, Wikipedia should not be manipulated to promote a commercial sponsorship agenda; secondly, that many such venues do subsequently change their sponsor name, and that then leaves the article title having to be changed; thirdly, that there can be ambiguity when the same sponsor has naming rights to other venues; and fourthly, that sponsor names frequently do not become established as the regular name in general use. Did anyone ever call the Manchester Arena the Phones4U Arena? I see that many editors see delaying adoption of a sponsor name as a useful convention; and broadly, I concur.

- on the other hand; no name or edit in Wikipedia is fixed for all time, if it is not formal Wikipedia policy. There are increasing numbers of sports venues where the Wikipedia article name is indeed the sponsor name; Emirates Stadium, Allianz Arena, King Power Stadium. The most important criteria is how the venue is most usually referred to, while seeking to avoid confusion and ambiguity. Even though it may commonly be less desirable to use a sponsor name; that is very much a second order consideration.

But what do other editors think? TomHennell (talk) 15:08, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

City of Manchester Stadium → Etihad Stadium – (see Article titles and Official names and.

It is beyond dispute that the official name for the stadium is ‘Etihad Stadium; and it is beyond dispute also, that this is the most commonly used reference to the stadium in current news media and all other notable sources. Since September 2018, when the Docklands Stadium changed its sponsor name from ‘Etihad Stadium’ to ‘Marvel Stadium, the name ‘Etihad Stadium has been applied to only one football stadium – this one. So the official name ‘Etihad Stadium’ is now “recognizable to readers, unambiguous, and consistent with usage in reliable English-language sources”. Which clearly qualifies it to be the title of the Wikipedia article. The question then arises; is this also true of the current name ‘City of Manchester Stadium”; which was indeed the official name for the stadium when originally constructed for the Commonwealth Games in Manchester in 2002? It is rightly recognised as a good Wikipedia principle: “If an article title has been stable for a long time, and there is no good reason to change it, it should not be changed.” The current article title has the virtue of still being unambiguous; but its qualifications under the other two criteria above; ‘recognizable to readers’ and ‘consistent with usage in reliable English-language sources’ is no longer apparent. In an internet search of current news sources (which Wikipedia guidance proposes as the most reliable comparative assessment), ‘Etihad Stadium’ returns 537,000 citations, against 6,800 for ‘City of Manchester Stadium”. Moreover, around half of these ‘City of Manchester Stadium’ search returns are specific to UEFA or FIFA sponsored competitions; and hence may be discounted from consideration, as both UEFA and FIFA notoriously rename sponsored stadiums in their publications if the usual name clashes with commercial sponsorship of UEFA and FIFA competitions; even where no other name is  recognised (and the sponsored name commonly stands as the Wikipedia article title). Most of the other search returns for ‘City of Manchester Stadium’ are historic; applying the old stadium name in recalling events ten years and more ago, when the stadium retained its original title. This is far from the first time this particular name change has been proposed; and formerly objectors have maintained that a general convention applies in Wikipedia, not to use sponsored names for football venues and stadiums. No such convention is found though in the “naming conventions” page. There is a note on Official names ; “Official names of sponsored sports teams, tournaments and venues change whenever a sponsorship agreement begins or ends.”. This identifies concern at changes in sponsor as a sound reason to prefer the use of the most common name over an official sponsor name. But this should not apply here; as ‘Etihad Stadium’ is – by a wide margin – the most common current name. TomHennell (talk) 16:39, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Oppose - I don't have a problem with new-build stadiums such as the Emirates Stadium or Walkers Stadium (now King Power Stadium) being named after sponsorship as there is no antecedent name. However, the City of Manchester Stadium was built without a sponsor for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and didn't have any sponsor until 2011. I can understand the WP:COMMONNAME rationale but it is already made clear in the opening sentence of the article and with a logo in the infobox that it is also known as the Etihad Stadium therefore I don't think a move is necessary. Stevo1000 (talk) 21:35, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose move. Though your idea is good in principle, there's no way I can support this, as your argument is primarily based on the official name of the venue.  ONR  (talk)  23:30, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
 * User:Old Naval Rooftops but in addition to the official name, it also seems to be the most commonly used name, as seen in Google news results comparing the two titles (and adding Manchester to the search for proposed one to ensure accurate results).--Yaksar (let's chat) 02:57, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * helpful if you could expand on your main pont; the guidance note states "Official English names ... should always be considered as possibilities, but should be used only if they are actually the name most commonly used." are you proposing that 'Etihad Stadium' is not the most common name used? TomHennell (talk) 08:59, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Support per WP:COMMONNAME. The website refers to it as the Etihad Stadium.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 07:32, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose per the long-standing convention that we don't use sponsored names where a non-sponsored one exists. Number   5  7  08:50, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Could you reference this 'long-standing convention" within one of the categories ? TomHennell (talk) 08:59, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * No, because it's not an official convention – no-one's ever bothered attempting to formalise it (as far as I'm aware) because this is a relatively minor thing and people have generally respected past consensus. But I assume you know this anyway and are just trying to make a point of some kind? Number   5  7  09:53, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Conventions are never official, if they were, they wouldn't be conventions. Nevertheless, this convention doesn't exist anywhere. TrailBlzr (talk) 20:05, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure you understand how Wikipedia works if that's your view on naming conventions. And as confirmed by GiantSnowman below, this convention does indeed exist; if you want further evidence, it was referenced by many editors in the last RM for this article a few years ago. Number   5  7  21:06, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * To be honest, all I'd really need to believe this convention exists are enough examples where it was decided that pages where the overwhelmingly most common name should not be at the official title because it is branded. Mind pointing me their way?--Yaksar (let's chat) 02:55, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * See below. Cheers, Number   5  7  10:16, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Support as both the common and official name. As far as I can see, there is not some sort of guideline that prohibits using branded names even when they are accurate and most common. Indeed, convention seems to be to go with longstanding common names, as the proposal suggests.--Yaksar (let's chat) 01:24, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. GiantSnowman 09:22, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Oppose - as above. We do not use sponsored names for stadiums if there are alternatives. GiantSnowman 09:25, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Per WP:COMMONNAME TrailBlzr (talk) 20:04, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Question Giant or User:Number 57, is there another example that could demonstrate this convention? Where we choose not to use a branded name even when it appears to be both the commonly used and official title? I'm not finding many, if any, where we choose not to use the most commonly used name in reliable sources because it is branded.--Yaksar (let's chat) 02:48, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Two that immediately come to mind are the Falmer Stadium (probably more widely known by its sponsored title "Amex") and Kirklees Stadium (John Smith's Stadium). Number   5  7  10:16, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Question Thanks Number 57, but could you expand on "probably more widely known"? In the case of the Etihad Stadium, the official/sponsor name appears to be the only name now regularly in use in notable news sources (excepting where FIFA and UEFA sponsorship deals constrain names used in their competitions).  Are these other articles also applying a name that is proportionally so uncommon in current news media as 'City of Manchester Stadium'?  Can you give some relative counts? TomHennell (talk) 11:21, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * A quick search of the BBC website shows around 2,300 relevant uses of "Amex" and just over 100 uses of "Falmer Stadium", most of which are from a few years ago. Number   5  7  11:57, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * For my club there's also 'Northern Commercials Stadium / Valley Parade' (which is a Featured Article). GiantSnowman 12:54, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Oppose - Sponsored names, by their very definition, are temporary. It is therefore better to title articles about sponsored venues with an unsponsored name, if any exists. This is borne out by Bootham Crescent, which had a five-year sponsorship by Nestlé and was known as KitKat Crescent for the duration; however, the article correctly remained at Bootham Crescent, which is what the stadium is again referred to as now that the sponsorship has lapsed. In cases like Emirates Stadium or King Power Stadium, where the venue has never had an unsponsored name, it of course makes sense to stick to the most recent one, but this is not one of those cases. – PeeJay 08:15, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose As some have said, this is mainly due to the sponsorship reasons that most of these articles don't have the sponsorship name. If this does past through, what is not stopping someone from requesting that Bellerive Oval be changed to Blundstone Arena as that is the current name for the stadium. Or recently, Docklands Stadium being sponsored by Marvel. This can easily see problems arise if it's successful. Matt294069 (talk) 03:21, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose While this is currently the only active 'Etihad Stadium' with an article, at some point Etihad may take over the naming rights at say Yankee Stadium. Then the argument would start as to which is the primary topic, best to leave it as a disambiguation page. While the Ethiad sponsorship is long term (until 2021), as others have stated, even if renewed it will come to an end at some point. Bromptop (talk) 03:41, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Filetopia is a free, multi-platform peer-to-peer file sharing client and networking tool that allows users to share files and send instant messages to others. Users can share files in public chat rooms or privately with contacts.

History
Filetopia software development started in October 1998, and the first public beta was released in March 1999. The classic Filetopia software version was 3.04d, 2002. In 2003, Filetopia v3.04 was reviewed in PC Magazine and rated 3/5. In 2004, the author of Filetopia was interviewed on the website Slyck.com.

In April 2012, development began on a project to completely rewrite the program in JavaFX. This version was eventually released as Filetopia FX.

Vince DiMaggio

Vincent Paul DiMaggio (September 6, 1912 – October 3, 1986) was an American Major League Baseball center fielder. During a 10-year baseball career, he played for the Boston Bees (1937–1938), Cincinnati Reds (1939–1940), Pittsburgh Pirates (1940–1945), Philadelphia Phillies (1945–1946), and New York Giants (1946). DiMaggio was the older brother of Joe and Dom DiMaggio.

Early life
DiMaggio was born in Martinez, California, and grew up in North Beach, San Francisco. Older than Joe and Dom, Vince was discovered first, and the teenage Joe used to enviously watch him play professional ball. Blessed with some power and good fielding, Vince once claimed that he could run rings around Joe in the outfield.

Minor leagues (1932–1936)
DiMaggio began his professional career in 1932 with the Tucson Lizards of the Class-D Arizona–Texas League, hitting .347 with 25 homers and 81 RBI. He led the Arizona–Texas League in home runs, with eight more than runner-up Cal Lahman. He played 94 games with the Lizards that year, finishing the season with the San Francisco Seals of the Class-AA Pacific Coast League. With the Seals, he hit .270 with 6 home runs in 59 games.

In 1933, DiMaggio hit .333 with 11 home runs and 65 runs batted in for San Francisco and the Hollywood Stars. He played with the Stars through 1935, joining the San Diego Padres in 1936.

Major League Baseball
On December 4, 1936, DiMaggio was traded by San Diego of the PCL to the Boston Bees for Tiny Chaplin, Tommy Thompson and cash. DiMaggio was a regular outfielder for the Bees in 1937 and 1938. In 1937, he hit .256 with a .311 on-base percentage and .387 slugging percentage with 13 home runs. In 1938, DiMaggio hit only .228/.313/.369, but led the Bees with 14 home runs on a team that hit 54 home runs in total. He was tenth in the National League (NL) in homers, sixth in steals (11) and eighth in walks (65). In both 1937 and 1938, he led the NL in strikeouts. His 134 strikeouts in 1938 set a NL record for most strikeouts in one season, breaking Gus Williams' record of 120 set in 1914.

On February 4, 1939, the Boston Bees sent DiMaggio to the New York Yankees to complete an earlier deal made on August 10, 1938, where the Bees sent players to be named later, Gil English, Johnny Riddle and cash to the Yankees for Eddie Miller. DiMaggio did not play for the Yankees, as they assigned him to their American Association affiliate, the Kansas City Blues.

On August 5, 1939, DiMaggio was traded by the Yankees to the Cincinnati Reds for players to be named later and $40,000. The Reds sent Frenchy Bordagaray and Nino Bongiovanni to the Yankees on January 27, 1940, to complete the trade. DiMaggio appeared in eight games with the 1939 Reds and only two games for the 1940 Reds before the Reds traded DiMaggio to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Johnny Rizzo on May 8, 1940.

DiMaggio spent the majority of his MLB career with the Pirates. In between, he was selected to the All-Star Game in 1943 and 1944. In the 1943 game, DiMaggio collected a home run, triple, single, a pair of runs and one RBI over three at-bats.

On March 31, 1945, he was traded by the Pirates to the Philadelphia Phillies for Al Gerheauser. He then hit four grand slams for the Phillies.

On May 1, 1946, he was traded by the Phillies to the New York Giants for Clyde Kluttz.

In his ten-year MLB career, DiMaggio batted .249 with 125 home runs and 584 RBI in 1110 games.

Return to the minors
DiMaggio played for the Oakland Oaks of the PCL in 1947. In 1948, he moved to the Stockton Ports of the California League as a player-manager. He also played for and managed the Pittsburg Diamonds of the Class-D Far West League from 1949 through 1951. He finished the 1951 season, and his professional career, with the Tacoma Tigers of the Class-B Western International League.

Personal life
DiMaggio was married with two children, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He died in North Hollywood, California, at age 74 of colon cancer.

DiMaggio worked at the California Shipbuilding Corporation during World War II. "He's one of the many former athletic stars who are helping to smash the Axis by building the equipment needed by America's fighting men," according to the Library of Congress.

According to Joe DiMaggio biographer Richard Ben Cramer, the iconic younger brother "didn't deal with Vince at all", never maintaining any meaningful relationship with him. But earlier in his career, DiMaggio had also joked that "If I could hit like Joe and he could talk like me, we'd make a helluva guy."

i dont agree with adding the HPC to the supercomputing.though supercomputing is an elegant idea this is ever nore an elegant idea.... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.88.67.91 (talk) 16:43, 11 May 2007 (UTC).

reverted deleted links and categories by 193.48.220.14
I don't see why this information was removed by the anonymous editor, so I reverted to the previous revision. The top500 site is definately worth having here, and the Windows HPC site is just as relevant as the linux HPC site, which wasn't removed. JSBillings 12:15, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

"The push here is to drive the idea of the video card as a computing platform in its own right, out of the supercomputer/HPC arena and into the home. If such a drive just happens to sell more GPUs, or leads to higher attach rates for discrete cards, well, that'd be ok, too."

µP family subcats
It may or may not be worthwhile to try to distinguish "individual" processors from "families". Messy because "individual" types often have a range of submodels with different power use, speed, peripherals, etc. Stan 16:42, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * I have used the following self-devised guidelines when defining the subcats x86 microprocessors, 68k microprocessors, and 65xx microprocessors: the main architecture article, as well as the initial processor and particularly important members of a family have also been included in the present category, due to their general significance. The other family members are included in the family subcat only. Also, so far "my" subcats have been restricted to families of 10+ members. How about this? --Wernher 05:29, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC) aka The Wild Categorizer™ :-)

Köprülü Mehmed Pasha

Köprülü Mehmed Pasha (كپرولی محمد پاشا, Köprülü Mehmet Paşa, ; Mehmed Pashë Kypriljoti or Qyprilliu, also called Mehmed Pashá Rojniku; c. 1575, Roshnik,– 31 October 1661, Edirne) was Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire and founding patriarch of the Köprülü political dynasty. He helped rebuild the power of the empire by rooting out corruption and reorganizing the Ottoman army. As he introduced these changes, Köprülü also expanded the borders of the empire, defeating the Cossacks, the Hungarians, and most impressively, the Venetians. Köprülü's effectiveness was matched by his reputation.

Early life
He was born in the village of Roshnik in the Sanjak of Berat, Albania to Albanian parents.

Rise through the imperial service
He eventually rose to the rank of pasha and was appointed the beylerbey (provincial governor) of the Trebizond Eyalet in 1644. Mehmed Pasha's early rise was facilitated by his participation in patronage networks with other Albanians in the Ottoman administration. His main patron was the Albanian Grand Vizier Kemankeş Kara Mustafa Pasha who secured Köprülü Mehmed's appointment as mirahor.

Later he was to rule the provinces of Eğri in 1647, of Karaman in 1648, and of Anatolia in 1650. He served as vizier of the divan for one week in 1652 before being dismissed due to the constant power struggle within the palace.

In 1656, the political situation in Ottoman Empire was critical. The war in Crete against the Venetians was still continuing. The Ottoman Navy under Kapudan Pasha (grand admiral) Kenan Pasha, in May 1656, was defeated by the Venetian and Maltese navy at the Battle of Dardanelles (1656) and the Venetian navy continued the blockade of the Çanakkale Straits cutting the Ottoman army in Crete from Constantinople, the state capital. There was a political plot to unseat the reigning Sultan Mehmed IV led by important viziers including the Grand Mufti (Şeyhülislam) Hocazade Mesut Efendi. This plot was discovered, and the plotters were executed or exiled. The Mother Sultana Turhan Hatice conducted consultations and the most favored candidate for the post of Grand Vizier came out as the old and retired but experienced Köprülü Mehmed Pasha.

Grand Vizier

Köprülü was called to Istanbul, where he accepted the position of Grand Vizier on 14 September 1656. He spoke to Valide Sultan on his appointment as Grand Vizier and told his terms and she accepted. He was given extraordinary powers and political rule without interference, even from the highest authority of the Sultan. Of course, he gave reports on governance to Turhan Sultan, and in many administrative matters she supported him. Thus, historians saw her and him as the mainstay of the Ottoman state.

In order to prevent the Valide Sultan or any other person from the harem from exercising power in their affairs, he proposed to confirm and declare the sultan's adulthood. As the Grand Vizier, his first task was to advise Sultan Mehmed IV to conduct a life of hunts and traveling around the Balkans and to reside in the old capital of Edirne, thus stopping his direct political involvement in the management of the state. On 4 January 1657, the household cavalry Sipahi troops in Constantinople started a rebellion and this was cruelly suppressed by Köprülü Mehmed Pasha with the help of Janissary troops. The Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople was proven to be in treasonous contacts with the enemies of Ottoman state and Köprülü Mehmed Pasha approved of his execution.

The Sultan gave the Grand Vizier the absolute authority over the life and property of the Ottoman government and people and assured him that anyone who opposed him for any purpose could be executed for disobeying the order.

War with Venice

He started on a military expeditions against the Venetian blockade of Dardanelles Straits. The Ottoman navy had a victory against Venice in the Battle of the Dardanelles on 19 July 1657. This allowed Ottomans to regain some of the Aegean islands, including Bozcaada and Limni (15 November) and to open the sea-supply routes to the Ottoman Army still conducting the sieges of Crete.

War with Transylvania and the Habsburgs
In 1658 he conducted a successful campaign in Transylvania. He also annexed Yanova (Jenö) on 1 August 1660 and Várad on 27 August. By annexing more territory in Hungary, he intended to directly threaten the Austrian capital Vienna.

Revolt of Abaza Hasan Pasha
Köprülü Mehmed Pasha's campaign against Transylvania was cut short by the large-scale revolt of several eastern provincial governors under the leadership of Abaza Hasan Pasha, then the governor of Aleppo. The rebels opposed Köprülü Mehmed's violent purges of the military and demanded that he be killed. However, Sultan Mehmed IV remained steadfast in his support for Köprülü and dispatched an army against the rebels under the command of Murtaza Pasha, who was then guarding the Safavid frontier. Despite assembling a force of 30,000 men and defeating Murtaza Pasha in battle, the harsh winter and fading morale eventually forced the rebels to capitulate. Abaza Hasan's revolt was finally brought to an end in February 1659 with the assassination of all the rebel commanders in Aleppo, despite promises that they would be spared.

Ayazmakapi Fire
In July 1660 there was a big fire in Istanbul (the Ayazmakapi Fire) causing great damage to persons and buildings, leading later to a food scarcity and plague. Köprülü Mehmed Pasha became personally involved in the reconstruction affairs. The honesty and integrity in conducting state affairs by Köprülü Mehmed Pasha is shown by an episode in this task. The burnt-out Jewish quarters from the Ayazmakapi Fire were decided to be compulsorily purchased by the state.

Death and legacy
Köprülü Mehmed's victories in Transylvania would push the Ottoman border closer to Austria.

Family
While stationed in Köprü in Anatolia, he married Ayşe Hatun (Hanım), daughter of Yusuf Ağa, a notable originally from Kayacık, a village of Havza in Amasya. Yusuf Ağa was a voyvoda (tax-farmer) who built a bridge in Kadegra, that thus became Köprü, from which the family name of Mehmed (who was originally stationed there, and where he was sanjak-bey) was taken. Together they had a number of children, amongs them Köprülüzade Fazıl Ahmed Pasha, Köprülüzade Fazıl Mustafa Pasha (father of Köprülüzade Damat Numan Pasha and Köprülüzade Abdüllah Pasha) and at least two daughters, who married Abaza Siyavush Pasha and Kara Mustafa Pasha.

De Grolsch Veste

De Grolsch Veste (, The Grolsch Fortress, previously known as Arke Stadion ) is the stadium of football club FC Twente. It is located in Enschede, Netherlands, at the Business & Science Park, near the University of Twente. The stadium has an all-seated capacity of 30,205 with a standard pitch heating system and has a promenade instead of fences around the stands. It hosted the final of the UEFA Women's Euro 2017.

History
De Grolsch Veste replaced the old Diekman Stadion as FC Twente's home ground on 22 March 1998. Plans had been afoot to expand and to renovate the old and now demolished Diekman Stadion. However, with a growing fan capacity and with arguments that the location of the Diekman stadium was not strategic enough, the idea was conceived to build a new arena for the FC Twente fans. The Diekman ground also faced problems with its seating plans as a result of previous FIFA regulations which imposed a necessity to construct a seating tribune behind each goal post.

The cost of the construction is estimated to have been around 33 million guilders and it took fourteen months to complete, with its foundation stone having been laid on 31 January 1997. Due to the tight budget available, the layout of the stadium was constructed in such a way that future expansions would be possible without the necessity to tear down entire stands.

The first match played at the stadium was a 3–0 victory by the home team against PSV on 10 May 1998 in an Eredivisie match. The first goal in the new stadium was scored in the 14th minute by FC Twente player Chris De Witte.

On 1 October 2006, the stadium was updated with two big flatscreen video-walls.

In May 2008, the Arke Stadion was renamed to De Grolsch Veste with beer brewery Grolsch as sponsor. The brewery is located in the club's hometown Enschede. The name "Veste" (fortress) is a reference to Groenlo, a former fortified town that was often besieged and where Grolsch was first brewed.

On 5 September 2009, for the first time ever an international (friendly) match was played in the FC Twente stadium when the Netherlands beat Japan 3–0.

Expansion
In 2006, plans were unfolded to increase the stadium capacity to 24,000 seats. The expansion started in January 2008 and was completed in September 2008, just in time for the start of the 2008–2009 season.

FC Twente is aiming to start a new phase in the stadium expansion in the summer of 2011 which will result in a capacity of 32,000 seats.

As part of the combined Netherlands and Belgium bid to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the stadium was one of five stadiums in the Netherlands selected by the KNVB to host games. This would mean that the stadium capacity needed to be expanded to the minimum required seating of 44,000.

The city of Enschede announced on 11 September 2009 that it would officially be a candidate city and that it would fully support FC Twente's ambition to expand the stadium capacity to the minimum required seating of 44,000. In December 2009, IAA Architecten released computer generated images of the proposed 44,000+ stadium with an arched 3rd tier, to complete the main stand.

Roof collapse
The Grolsch Veste was expanded during the summer of 2011. On 7 July, when working on the construction of the stand, the roof suddenly collapsed, killing two workers and injuring 14 people. The collapse was probably caused by too much weight on the unfinished roof. After an investigation of a month, the roof was taken away and work continued. FC Twente played the first few competition matches partly without a roof. The new stadium was officially opened on 29 October with a competition match against PSV Eindhoven (2-2). A year after the accident, a monument was unveiled.

David H. Hubel

David Hunter Hubel (February 27, 1926 – September 22, 2013) was an American Canadian neurophysiologist noted for his studies of the structure and function of the visual cortex. He was co-recipient with Torsten Wiesel of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (shared with Roger W. Sperry), for their discoveries concerning information processing in the visual system. For much of his career, Hubel worked as the Professor of Neurobiology at Johns Hopkins University and Harvard Medical School. In 1978, Hubel and Wiesel were awarded the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize from Columbia University. In 1983, Hubel received the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement.

Early life and education
Hubel was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, to American parents in 1926. His grandfather emigrated as a child to the United States from the Bavarian town of Nördlingen. In 1929, his family moved to Montreal, where he spent his formative years. His father was a chemical engineer and Hubel developed a keen interest in science right from childhood, making many experiments in chemistry and electronics. From age six to eighteen, he attended Strathcona Academy in Outremont, Quebec, about which he said, "[I owe] much to the excellent teachers there, especially to Julia Bradshaw, a dedicated, vivacious history teacher with a memorable Irish temper, who awakened me to the possibility of learning how to write readable English." He studied mathematics and physics at McGill University, and then completed medical school there in 1951 and followed that with three years of residency (a year of internship and two of residency in neurology) at the Montreal General Hospital.

Career
In 1954, Hubel moved to the United States to work at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine as an assistant resident in Neurology. He was later drafted by the army and served at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR). There, he began recording from the primary visual cortex of sleeping and awake cats. At WRAIR, he invented the modern metal microelectrode out of Stoner-Mudge lacquer and tungsten, and the modern hydraulic microdrive, which he had to learn basic machinist skills to produce. In 1958, Hubel moved to Johns Hopkins and began his collaborations with Wiesel, and discovered orientation selectivity and columnar organization in the visual cortex. One year later, he joined the faculty of Harvard University. In 1981, Hubel became a founding member of the World Cultural Council. From 1988 to 1989 he was the president of the Society for Neuroscience. He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the United States National Academy of Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society.

Research

The Hubel and Wiesel experiments greatly expanded the scientific knowledge of sensory processing. The partnership lasted over twenty years and became known as one of the most prominent research pairings in science. In one experiment, done in 1959, they inserted a microelectrode into the primary visual cortex of an anesthetized cat. They then projected patterns of light and dark on a screen in front of the cat. They found that some neurons fired rapidly when presented with lines at one angle, while others responded best to another angle. Some of these neurons responded to light patterns and dark patterns differently. Hubel and Wiesel called these neurons simple cells." Still other neurons, which they termed complex cells, detected edges regardless of where they were placed in the receptive field of the neuron and could preferentially detect motion in certain directions. These studies showed how the visual system constructs complex representations of visual information from simple stimulus features.

Hubel and Wiesel received the Nobel Prize for two major contributions: firstly, their work on the development of the visual system, which involved a description of ocular dominance columns in the 1960s and 1970s; and secondly, their work establishing a foundation for visual neurophysiology, describing how signals from the eye are processed by visual parcels in the neo-cortex to generate edge detectors, motion detectors, stereoscopic depth detectors, and color detectors, building blocks of the visual scene. By depriving kittens of using one eye, they showed that columns in the primary visual cortex receiving inputs from the other eye took over the areas that would normally receive input from the deprived eye. This has important implications for the understanding of deprivation amblyopia, a type of visual loss due to unilateral visual deprivation during the so-called critical period. These kittens also did not develop areas receiving input from both eyes, a feature needed for binocular vision. Hubel and Wiesel's experiments showed that the ocular dominance develops irreversibly early in childhood development. These studies opened the door for the understanding and treatment of childhood cataracts and strabismus. They were also important in the study of cortical plasticity.

Furthermore, the understanding of sensory processing in animals served as inspiration for the SIFT descriptor (Lowe, 1999), which is a local feature used in computer vision for tasks such as object recognition and wide-baseline matching, etc. The SIFT descriptor is arguably the most widely used feature type for these tasks. Hubel was elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Society (ForMemRS) in 1982.

Personal life
Hubel married Ruth Izzard in 1953; she died February 17, 2013. The couple had three sons and four grandchildren. He died in Lincoln, Massachusetts, from kidney failure on September 22, 2013, at the age of 87.

She is currently living in Boston, Massachusetts. She plays guitar and, less frequently, piano. Her lyrics often blend obscure images and emotions.

Polenzani has performed in Lilith Fair in 1998, and the Sundance Film Festival in 1999. She has opened for the Indigo Girls, David Gray, Vic Chesnutt, Patty Griffin, Joan Baez, Jonatha Brooke, Kristin Hersh and Shawn Colvin. She has been reviewed positively in the Utne Reader, BUST Magazine, and the Boston Globe.

Polenzani performed as part of Voices on the Verge, a collaborative musical project with Beth Amsel, Jess Klein, and Erin McKeown. Voices on the Verge toured together in 2001 and 2002 and released a live album, Voices on the Verge: Live In Philadelphia on the Rykodisc label. In 2004, Polenzani toured with Sharon Lewis of the British band Pooka, whom she cites as a major musical influence.

Opera singer Matthew Polenzani is her brother. Her grandfather was Lynn Hauldren, known as "The Empire Man" for his work as a pitchman for Empire Today.

Deathprod

Deathprod is the musical pseudonym used by Norwegian artist Helge Sten for his ambient music project. He is married to Norwegian singer Susanna Wallumrød.

Biography
Sten began creating music under this name starting in 1991, culminating with a box set of most of his recorded work being released in 2004. Simply titled Deathprod, the collection contains three albums along with a bonus disc of previously unreleased, rare, and deleted tracks.

On recordings, Sten is usually credited with "Audio Virus", a catchall term for "homemade electronics, old tape echo machines, ring modulators, filters, theremins, samplers and lots of electronic stuff."

Sten also did the mixing of the album PB by the Norwegian artist Per Bergersen.

Sten is a member of Supersilent and works as a producer on many releases on the Norwegian label Rune Grammofon. He has also produced Motorpsycho and has worked with Biosphere on an Arne Nordheim tribute album called Nordheim Transformed.

The company he runs got 12 google hits on a search for their name +Wisconsin (where they're HQ is). Not notable. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 16:51, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC) This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like other '/delete' pages is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion or on the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.
 * Delete. You beat me to it (listing it here) and my google search gave 50 hits but I didn't add Wisconsin to the search terms. -- Graham  ☺ | Talk 16:57, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * delete. I should be charging rental for space on my monitor for stuff like this. Ianb 17:59, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. And why this trend to lower case last names?  Rick'''K 19:15, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing it's because they think Wikipedia convention is to only make the first letter of any article uppercase (I know, I know, proper nouns and all that.) Delete this vanity page.  --Ardonik 19:59, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * Or pehaps they typed the whole thing in lower case. The first letter of the first word then gets capitalized automatically. -- Decumanus 03:37, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete vanity/ad. -- Cyrius|✎ 19:11, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Smuffling

Neologism dict def that appears to be advertising a website. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 16:53, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * The advertising was inappropriate, but, more importantly, the Wikipedia is not a slang or idiom guide. Delete.  (I'm not sure I even want this moved to the Wiktionary.  Where I come from, the practice of giving fake reviews is called "giving fake reviews.")  --Ardonik 19:55, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * I think you and I come from the same place. Delete. - Lucky 6.9 20:07, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Tougher: Perhaps a small entry to Internet Slang?  The phenom. of fake reviews is getting notable, but this word for it?  This ad? Nah.  Delete. Geogre 20:39, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Neologism w/ no evidence of currency, so it should not get an item in Internet slang. Wile E. Heresiarch 02:00, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete neologism dicdef/ad. -- Cyrius|✎ 19:12, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
