Speedy deletion nomination of Fiesta Inn (disambiguation)

A tag has been placed on Fiesta Inn (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
 * disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
 * disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Cindy ( talk to me ) 05:51, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Resolution: The disambiguation article was deleted. I had felt it was important to have it since people were confusing the Fiesta Inn in Arizona with the unrelated Fiesta Inn chain in Mexico, but apparently since there is no Wikipedia article on the also-significant Fiesta Inn in Arizona, a disambiguation page is not permitted. One of these days, I hope someone will have the time and inclination to create the Fiesta Inn (Arizona) article, in which case the disambiguation page could perhaps be resurrected.

Speedy deletion nomination of 2013-14 flu season

A tag has been placed on 2013-14 flu season requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. JMHamo (talk) 15:34, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Larry. I see you created this article in March 2014, calling it the "2013–14 flu season" Exactly from when to when does a flu season go? Secondly, you aware that the wolrd is divied in two hemispheres, each with its own "flu season". Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 11:46, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Oh, wow - good question and point! I will look into this this weekend - my hemisphere ; ) - and resolve these issues.

AfC notification: Draft:Ernestine Ygnacio-De Soto has a new comment
 I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Ernestine Ygnacio-De Soto. Thanks! MurielMary (talk) 10:17, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks so much, Muriel. I feel that Ygnacio-De Soto is truly notable as the daughter of the last fluent speaker of, I believe, any Chumashan language - an entire language family. She still remembers and can sing songs from that language and is therefore a living link to that otherwise extinct language family, and she is prominently featured on a U.S. National Park service's web page about the Chumashan native americans. The draft article with your help has I believe 6 sites to reliable sources independent of the subject, including book published in conjunction with the Santa Barbara Museum of Anthropology with an ISBN number that she illustrated, a documentary film that features her and 5 other generations of her family members, some of whom knew the famous "lone woman of San Nicholas Island" and she relates invaluable oral history about her that would otherwise have been lost. After you added a reliable and independent citation and I added one as well, it seemed to me to be very well-sourced, yet it was rejected for republication. After adding some more to the article I believe it to be even better sourced and interesting to readers who are interested in powerful indigenous women and in preserving the few traces we have of the indigenous language families that we are losing, which are key puzzles in understanding humanity, human culture, and language as a whole, and I believe that if the article is published that other editors will add to it and this piece of the puzzle of humanity will be preserved here on Wikipedia and cross-linked for the context that reveals her true importance. The re-review has not yet been done, so If you happen to have a chance to take another look at the article and offer me any additional suggestions or find something else to add to it that might give it a greater chance of a favorable re-review, I would be most grateful. ...and in any event, thank you so much for the work you have done already! I am confident that with collaborative effort we can get this article published. If anything, my faults as a Wikipedia editor have been the only thing hampering the publication, so I will continue to work on this article, as well. Warm regards from Southern California and hoping you are staying safe. Larry Grossman (talk) 04:30, 30 April 2020 (UTC)Larry Grossman

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amesbury Middle School

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was Keep. Rob 10:22, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Amesbury Middle School
A lengthy building history does not notability make. Mandel 05:28, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Several marginally notable things about it.  --Daniel C. Boyer 19:02, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable. jni 07:12, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Non-notable indeed. But the article at least has enough in it to please anyone curious enough to look it up. And, I think the material is too voluminous to merge into Amesbury, Massachusetts. Wait. That long section almost too good... better check for copyvio. Nope, not obviously. Identical material does occur—but in a Wikipedia mirror. If the contributor reads this I'd appreciate a brief statement here saying that the material on the building history is not directly copied from anything. If the article survives VfD I'd add that with all the stuff about the building history it would sure be nice to have a picture of the building and/or the Doughboy statue (which by the way is probably the strongest claim to notability for the school. The statue by the same sculptor of the Gloucester Fisherman's Memorial, http://www.wainwrightfamily.org/Images/cenotaph.jpg is genuinely famous). [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 13:17, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * I guess good prose is distiguishable from notability? So a good prose entry on something non-notable would merit a keep, always? Mandel 13:37, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)
 * I haven't quite figured out what's going on in my mushy mind about this. I vote on schools on a case-by-case basis. There is no consensus policy to cite or appeal to, so that's appropriate. I'm thinking that being "encyclopedic" has something to do with thoroughness and scholarship and good writing, rather than topic area. I'm also thinking that an accumulation of low-quality articles that don't get improved hurts WIkipedia, while high-quality articles on topics of interest to very few do not.

 * Delete: I agree, of course, with rewarding the good ones. They shine like diamonds against the dark velvet of the rest of the articles.  However, my charity got burned up above, so I have to vote delete.  The big, fine interest in the building is not sufficient to make up for the lack of notability of the article itself.  Instead, the material would be good for "Architecture of Amesbury educational buildings" or "The 1960 school expansion."  Geogre 15:06, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * One of the arguments that is made by those in favor of keeping school articles generally has been that people will check out Wikipedia by looking up their home town and their school and say "awesome!" when they see it's included, and this will attract contributors and supporters. My counter-argument has been that nobody is going to get a warm fuzzy from a stupid three-sentence article that says "Central High School is located in Anytown at 4321 Main Street. It is one of six high schools in the Adams County School District. It has 1234 students, its school colors are black and blue, its mascot is a bulldog, and its principal is John M. Doe." Certainly I would not keep an article that is vanity, or advertising, or original research just because it was well-written. On the other hand, I'm thinking probably yes, I would keep articles that are factual, interesting, and well-researched on almost any topic area. The question is: are articles about non-notable schools intrinsically vanity? Anyway, yeah, for the time being I'm going to vote "keep" on non-notable school articles if the article seems to me to be otherwise encyclopedic. But I don't object at all to articles like this being listed on VfD. My $0.02. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 15:02, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Delete:Id have to agree that elementry schools are not really things that are notable in an encyclopedia. BoomerangBob
 * Delete. It doesn't matter how well written an article is, if it's not notable, it doesn't belong here. --Improv 15:12, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Best I have seen so far today, but not good enough to keep. As I have mentioned above I might vote to keep a well written article, if non-notable, but this is still well short of my bar. MarkS 20:11, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep: The article is well written. A truly complete encyclopedia would have an article on everything that has ever existed. And notability is very subjective. There are many articles in the Wikipedia that I would not consider notable. DCEdwards1966 21:19, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. My source for this article has been myself, I have spent the last few years working on a history of this school district and I thought that it might be interesting to others if I included some of the facts I uncovered on this page. I thank all of those who feel that this was well written.  --TEMcGee, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not terribly notable, but good content. Cool Hand Luke  01:35, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * So some feel that as long as something is written well, it deserves to stay in an encyclopedia even if it is not notable? Runs contrary to how I feel. Mandel 03:15, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep The Steve  03:11, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
 * D This is a good encyclopaedia article in the quantitative sense. There's plenty of information, and it's well-written.  In terms of overall quality of WP, it's a different matter - in amongst this well-organised well-written information, you realise that this is just another school with no notable achievements to its name. Chris 06:29, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just because the article is long doesn't make this school any more notable than any other school.  RickK 06:50, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yes, you may be old, but damn, you look like everyone else. 02:03, 2004 Oct 15 (UTC)
 * Keep. lots of information RustyCale 11:48, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 *  <!--  For those that haven't been paying attention, the information is mostly pointless, and nothing more than any other school could boast. Actually read the information before making your vote.  I hope whichever admin ends up looking at this will disregard the misinformed votes to avoid setting a precedent. Chris 14:59, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. As notable, if not more so, than the thousands of non-notable albums, assorted computer equipment, and assorted crap on Wikipedia. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (hopefully!)]] 15:01, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)
 * If it's notable, this article certainly doesn't provie it. There's the name, address, stats, a brief history of the all-too-ordinary buildings, and some pointless trivia.  Nothing sets it apart from other schools. Chris 15:06, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. A riviting history of building construction. They forgot to tell us how they mixed the mortar, though. Gamaliel 06:31, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge with Amesbury, Massachusetts, without the trivial stuff like the phone number and the names of the guidance counselors. Fishal 04:06, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, encyclopedic. Non-notability is irrelevant. arj 12:28, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable.  -- WOT 21:25, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group

The Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group (JBIG) was a group of experts nominated by national standards bodies and major companies to work to produce standards for bi-level image coding. The "joint" refers to its status as a committee working on both ISO and ITU-T standards. It was one of two sub-groups of ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1, Subcommittee 29, Working Group 1 (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 1), whose official title is Coding of still pictures.

The Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group created the JBIG and JBIG2 standards. The group often meets jointly with the JPEG committee, which typically meets three times annually.

ISO/IEC JTC1 SC29 Working Group 1 (working together with ITU-T Study Group 16 – VCEG and previously also with Study Group 8 – SG8  ) is responsible for both JPEG and JBIG standards. It included two sub-groups: the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG SG) and the Joint Bi-level Image experts Group (JBIG SG). After completing the 2019 edition of the JBIG2 standard, the JBIG subgroup was closed and its maintenance responsibilities were assigned to the general JPEG group.

In the mid-1980s, both CCITT (now ITU-T) and ISO had standardization groups for image coding: CCITT Study Group (SG) VIII (Telematic Services) and ISO TC97 SC2 WG8 (Coding of Audio and Picture Information). They were historically targeted on image communication. In 1986, it was decided to create the Joint (CCITT/ISO) Photographic Expert Group. In 1988, it was decided to create the Joint (CCITT/ISO) Bi-level Image Group – JBIG.

Published standards
JBIG have developed following standards, which were published by ISO/IEC and/or ITU-T: Note: The published JBIG2 standard was revised by three later amendments, which were consolidated into the current (2019) edition.

Cataract Gorge

The Cataract Gorge is a river gorge in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia, approximately 1.5 km from the city centre. It is one of the region's premier tourist attractions with a Cataract Gorge boat trip leaving from Home Point Parade. It is found at the lower section of the South Esk River.

History
The earliest known European visitor to the site was William Collins, who discovered its entrance in 1804.

A pathway, known as the King’s Bridge-Cataract Walk, and originally built by volunteers in the 1890s, runs along the north bank of the Cataract Gorge, and is a popular tourist destination. The original toll house at which pedestrians had to pay to enter the walk can still be seen near King's Bridge on the northern edge of the gorge.

The chairlift is the longest single-span chairlift in the world, with the longest span being 308 m. The chairlift, built in 1972, has a total span of 457 m.

In the past, there was a power station at Duck Reach, about 2.5 km from a suspension bridge which was built in 1904. It was washed away in the floods of 1929, rebuilt and then decommissioned when the Trevallyn Dam was finished in 1955. The building is now an interpretive museum.

Features
The First Basin on the southern side features a swimming pool, the aforementioned chairlift, two cafés, a funicular railway and an open area surrounded by bushland. At the bottom of the funicular railways is a small cottage which contains photographs and paintings of the basin and downriver Gorge. The basin itself has created many of myths about its depth: some locals say it is a bottomless pit; a volcanic plug; or that a submarine sent in to find its bottom during the 1960s ran out cable before accomplishing this feat. In fact, the basin was formed by erosion at the intersection of two faults - the Basin Road Fault and an un-named fault approximately at right angles which the South Esk is following. Where the two faults meet, the Dolerite rock is badly shattered and hence more easily eroded, giving rise to the formation of the basin.

Measurements in 2016 found the maximum depth is 20.5 m.

The northern side, named the Cliff Grounds, is a landscaped Victorian garden containing ferns, exotic plants and peacocks. It is now provided with facilities for visitors.

Further upstream is the historic Duck Reach Power Station, now an Interpretation Centre. The Launceston City Council originally commissioned the Power Station in 1893, making it the largest hydro-electric scheme of its day. By 1895 it was lighting the city.

Other activities include boat cruise through the accessible section of river, cable hang gliding experience that soars for 200 metres from a cliff top and rock climbing.

Prior to the development of the Trevallyn Dam there were three lesser basins upstream of the "First Basin", with the second and third still visible on a map, while the fourth is flooded by Lake Trevallyn.

At the lower end of the gorge, the South Esk spills into the Tamar River going under King's Bridge and Paterson Bridge which was built more recently. King's Bridge was the only bridge leading north out of the city for nearly 100 years. The Paterson Bridge was officially opened on November 2, 1973.

This section of river is a well recognised section of whitewater. It provides world class kayaking. An inaugural race is usually scheduled in late January, thanks to Hydro Tasmania.

Yordan Letchkov

Yordan Letchkov Yankov (also transliterated Jordan, Iordan, Lechkov) (Йордан Лечков Янков; born 9 July 1967) is a Bulgarian former professional footballer. He is generally regarded as one of the best players to come out of Bulgaria and was a key member of the squad which reached the semi-finals of the 1994 FIFA World Cup. Known to many as "The Magician", Letchkov was a gifted player who could play as a central midfielder or on the left side of midfield, and he was easily recognizable for his baldness. He was best known for his dribbling ability. However, his career was often adversely affected by his moody nature and the numerous arguments and fallings-out he had with fellow players and managers. He was the mayor of his home town for eight years, but was removed from duty due to corruption.

Club career
Born in Straldzha, Letchkov began his career as a youngster with Sliven football club (Bulgaria), after breaking into the first team at a young age he secured a transfer to Bulgaria's top side CSKA Sofia (Bulgaria, 1991–92 season) and soon after he made the move to Germany with Hamburger SV (Germany, from the 1992–93 season to the 1995–96 season). After that he secured a move to Olympique de Marseille (France, 1996–97 season), at this point one of the top clubs in Europe. However a difficult relationship with the club's management led to his departure after one season.

His next stop took him to Turkey with Beşiktaş (Turkey, from the 1997–98 season). However, just after six months with the club, he returned late from holidays and fell into a dispute with the manager John Toshack. After being fined by the club, he refused to pay, stated that he has quit football and subsequently returned to Bulgaria. He has been variously quoted since as saying the Istanbul club owes him money, that he was unable to get on with its coach Toshack and that his wife could not settle in Turkey. However he soon started training with a Bulgarian club. Beşiktaş appealed to FIFA which declared Letchkov in breach of contract and ordered him to pay 200.000 DM in compensation. Beşiktaş renewed its appeals to UEFA and FIFA when Letchkov turned out without club permission for Bulgaria in a friendly against Argentina. FIFA subsequently ruled that Letchkov was ineligible to play for any other team without clearance from Beşiktaş, and that included his national side. Despite helping Bulgaria to reach 1998 World Cup, he could not play due to his dispute with Beşiktaş.

After about three years away from football, Letchkov returned to the game in the 2001–02 season with CSKA Sofia. Between 2002 and 2004 he became player-coach of OFC Sliven, a club in the second division of Bulgarian football. Letchkov is often referred to as being part of the "Golden Generation" of Bulgarian football, who along with Stoichkov, Kostadinov and Balakov led the national side to the semifinals of the 1994 World Cup.

International career
Letchkov played 45 matches and scored five goals for Bulgaria; however his international career was limited by a series of disagreements with coaches and the Bulgarian Football Federation.

He is perhaps best remembered for scoring the winner against Germany in the quarter-finals of the 1994 World Cup, as Bulgaria reached the semi-finals where they were beaten by Italy. Above all thanks to his very good matches in that World Cup, he was placed in the 13th position of the 1994 Ballon d'Or.

Letchkov went on to shine in the 1996 European Championships in England despite the failure of Bulgaria to reach the quarter finals: he played very well against Spain and Romania, and producing a man-of-the-match performance in the group B last match, against a strong French side. He went on to contribute greatly to his nation's successful qualification campaign for the 1998 World Cup championships. However his chance to play in the tournament was blocked by FIFA due to a little publicised contractual dispute with Beşiktaş (see also above in "Club").

Post-football
Letchkov took part in a TV series called Golden Boots in 1998 with various other footballers, and in 2012 in the sport documentary called Stoichkov. After his retirement from football he has successfully started a career as a businessman (owning luxury hotels and a football academy) and politician. He was elected Mayor of his home town, Sliven, in 2003 and reelected in 2007.

Since 2005, he has also been vice president of the Bulgarian Football Union. In April 2010 he was removed from the mayorship by the Sliven district court after he was charged with official misconduct, but the Burgas appellate court restored him to his position on 28 June 2010. Letchkov was replaced by the new mayor of Sliven Kolyo Milev in the 2011 local elections, who outran him with 56,72% vs. 43,28% of the votes. Many citizens stated that they had voted for a member of the opposing party to the ones they support only to remove Letchkov from his post. Many of the major boulevards in the city were left dug up and in deep pot-holes for nearly two years due to "controversy" and a lawsuit between the company working on restructuring the city's water supply and the city council. In contrast, while he was still mayor, the streets that lead to Letchkov's hotels in the city were reconstructed and refreshed with the addition of gardens and aesthetic sidewalks and street lighting. Other scandals constantly accompanied him during his time as mayor, including the disrespecting of journalists and police officers (showing the middle finger) because he was wanted by the police after fleeing from a traffic stop after throwing his documents at them.

For example, in the United States, Title 47 CFR Part 15 (or "part 15"), is a regulation that allows unlicensed broadcasting within a range of just a few meters. Legal broadcast methods may include ISM bands, used legally at low power to broadcast for personal use, a video sender, used to distribute video (sometimes wireless security cameras) within a home or small business, or FM transmitters, used to transmit satellite radio or digital media players to stereo systems which have no wired input (i.e. car radios).

The term "pirate broadcasting," by contrast, is almost always used to indicate broadcasting that is illegal, particularly as applied to pirate radio and pirate television. The justifications usually given for legal prohibitions on broadcasting include the need to keep certain broadcast frequencies open for emergency communications, the need to control the broadcasting of material that is obscene or violates copyrights, and the preservation of government revenue derived from licensing airwaves.

Alexi Laiho

Alexi Laiho (born Markku Uula Aleksi Laiho; 8 April 1979 – 29 December 2020) was a Finnish guitarist, composer, and vocalist. He was best known as the lead guitarist, lead vocalist and founding member of the melodic death metal band Children of Bodom, and was also the guitarist for Sinergy, the Local Band, Kylähullut, and Bodom After Midnight, which formed just prior to his death. Laiho had previously played with Thy Serpent and Impaled Nazarene on occasion, as well as Warmen and Hypocrisy.

Career
Laiho started playing violin at the age of seven and guitar at the age of eleven. His main guitar influence was Helloween. He then became interested in more extreme, mainly black metal music. By 1999 he considered that his main influences lay with classic metal bands like Manowar, Helloween, Judas Priest and W.A.S.P.

His first guitar was a "Tokai Stratocaster".

In 1993, after taking part in an experimental band named T.O.L.K. with friends he met while attending the Finnish Pop & Jazz Conservatory, Laiho formed Children of Bodom together with drummer Jaska Raatikainen, under the name of IneartheD.

On 31 October 1997, prior to releasing their debut album, Children of Bodom played their first concert in Helsinki, as opening act for Norway's Dimmu Borgir.

Silenoz, Dimmu Borgir guitarist, on Laiho's first performance: "We could hear the opening band playing from backstage. We were like, ‘Holy shit, what is this?' It sounded like Yngwie Malmsteen on speed. We ran out and watched the spectacle and stood there with our jaws open". "There was this fucking beast on the guitar," adds Dimmu's then-keyboardist Kimberly Goss, who would go on to form power metal band Sinergy with Alexi in 1997, and marry him in 2002. "I was looking at our guitar player like, ‘I don't know, man, you've got some competition..."

Laiho recorded three full-length albums with Sinergy. An unreleased fourth album was recorded and slated to be released in 2005, but the finishing touches were never completed due to Laiho's demanding schedule with Children of Bodom.

In 2004, Laiho founded a side-project called Kylähullut, which was assembled together with drummer Tonmi Lillman (ex-Sinergy) and singer Vesa Jokinen 69er of Finnish punk band Klamydia. The band was created merely for the entertainment of the musicians, and takes a carefree approach to their music. Their discography includes two EP's, and two full-length albums one of which features Laiho's wife, Goss making her debut singing in the Finnish language on the band's self titled song.

Children of Bodom played at the 2008 Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards. There, Laiho also received the Dimebag Award for "Best Shredder" and performed a track off of Bodom's 2008's album, Blooddrunk.

Laiho appears on Canadian thrash metal outfit Annihilator's 2007 album, Metal, as a guest, performing a guitar solo on the song "Downright Dominate".

On 3 July 2012, Children of Bodom announced on their Facebook page that they had to cancel two European shows because Laiho had been taken to the hospital because of severe stomach pain. The frontman was hospitalized once again the following year in Nashville, leading to speculation about his dangerous relationship with alcohol, which he'd later discuss in multiple interviews.

On 15 December 2019, Children of Bodom played their last show at the Icehall in Helsinki, dubbed "A Chapter Called Children of Bodom"; in November it was announced that after this show, the group would disband after over two decades together. For legal reasons, Laiho would no longer be able to continue using the Children of Bodom name.

In March 2020, Laiho would officially announce his new band together with former Children of Bodom guitarist Daniel Freyberg, Bodom After Midnight featuring drummer Waltteri Väyrynen and bassist Mitja Toivonen.

Laiho died on 29 December 2020 due to liver degeneration resulting from years of alcohol abuse, leaving behind a few songs recorded with Bodom After Midnight to be published posthumously. Several months later, Daniel Freyberg told Loudwire that Bodom After Midnight would disband rather than replacing Laiho. Regarding his death, in a 2023 interview, former Children of Bodom keyboardist Janne Wirman reflected back to what Alexi Laiho had told him in 2016 after his health issues came to light, that he had no plans to stop drinking but instead plans to drink himself to death.

Awards and recognition
Laiho has often been described as a visionary who brought back melody and flamboyance to metal music in a post-grunge and nu metal era. His guitar style was influenced by black metal, power metal and classical music, all cemented together by blistering solos. He was known for his guitar-keyboard solo duels with Janne Wirman, keyboardist in his band Children of Bodom. Alexi also incorporated various references to classical music in his early works.

Laiho received a Metal Hammer Golden Gods prize in the category of Dimebag Darrell Shredder Award in 2008.

Laiho received widespread acclaim for his guitar work and according to AllMusic, he is "widely celebrated as one of the genre's most accomplished players". In 2004 he was ranked No. 96 out of 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time by Guitar World. Guitar World magazine has also ranked him as one of the 50 fastest guitarists in the world. In addition, Roadrunner Records ranked Laiho at No. 41 out of 50 of the greatest metal frontmen. Furthermore, Total Guitar conducted a public voting poll to determine the greatest metal guitarist of all time; Laiho was voted No. 1 out of 20 metal guitarists, with over 20% of the vote.

Personal life and death
On 1 February 2002, at a private ceremony in Finland, Laiho married long time girlfriend and Sinergy frontwoman Kimberly Goss. They shared identical tattoos of a coiled snake around their ring fingers and had each other's initials tattooed on the upper part of their left arms. According to official documents, Laiho filed for divorce in November 2002, but withdrew his application, never to file it again. The couple separated in 2004, but were on good terms and had regular text and video contact until the day he died, as confirmed by the Finnish press. Drama and infighting between Laiho's sister and widow resulted in a public back and forth exchange, with both parties airing their grievances to the Finnish media.

For several years after his separation from Goss, Laiho was then linked with Kristen Mulderig, manager of Slayer until mid-2015. Later that same year, he began a relationship with Kelli Wright, an Australian public relations manager whom he became engaged to in September 2016, and the two married in a traditional handfasting ceremony in December 2017. After Laiho's death, it was reported by Finnish news outlets that he had never divorced from Goss, revealing his marriage to Wright was not legally binding.

Laiho had a history of alcohol abuse, which was the cause of his death. In an interview in 2019 he talked about how the pressures of life on the road affected him; he mentioned the song "This Road" from 2019's Hexed and said, "A lot of people thought it was about alcoholism, but it's more about being addicted to being on the road. Sometimes it feels like after 20 years of being on the road, everything just becomes kind of a blur and you don't know what the hell's going on." He explained how he used to drink heavily but cut back in 2013, not drinking while on tour anymore, and mentioned that Hexed first single, "Under Grass and Clover", documented the pain of withdrawal. In 2023, Children of Bodom keyboardist Janne Wirman said that Alexi Laiho never stopped drinking, and in 2016 had told him "I'm going to drink until I die." In 2024, Janne Wirman revealed that after Alexi's return from Australia, where he had spent time with his partner, Kelli Wright, his bandmates started noticing that Laiho's health was deteriorating. Wirman remarked that Laiho had lost a lot of weight and his attempts to play guitar ended up in failure, as he "couldn't play at all". In the same interview, Henkka Seppälä admitted that they had talked to Alexi at the end of the "Hexed" tour, however this only ended up in having an argument. The bassist also points out that their tour manager "had phone numbers to every city's morgue during their tour, in case they found Alexi dead in his bunk".

On 4 January 2021, a post on his official Facebook page stated Laiho had died the previous week. No official cause of death was given, only stating he succumbed at his Helsinki home to "long-term health issues during his last years". The death date was later confirmed to be 29 December 2020. A private funeral service for Laiho was held on 28 January 2021.

On 5 March 2021 Kimberly Goss revealed the official cause of Laiho's death on her Instagram: "alcohol-induced degeneration of the liver and pancreas connective tissue". Additionally, a mix of painkillers, opioids and insomnia medication was found in his system. The cause of death was originally published in Finnish as "maksan rasvarappeutuminen ja haiman sidekudostuminen", which translates into English as fatty liver disease and pancreatic fibrosis. Laiho's sister stated that the family wanted the details of his death to remain private, however Goss maintained that it was her right as his legal widow to disclose the information and bring closure to his fans, hoping the tragedy could inspire lives to be saved and "help others struggling with these same demons."

Laiho's ashes were laid to rest on 8 December 2021, one day after a private memorial service was held by Goss.

During an interview conducted in 2023 with Janne Wirman, the former keyboardist of Children of Bodom, a revelation surfaced regarding an interaction wherein Alexi purportedly conveyed, "Dude, from now on, I'm going to drink until I die." This disclosure potentially suggests that his death could have been attributed to suicide.

Talk:Champions League

Merge
I suggest that this page be merged with CL, with this page redirecting there. Whilst I understand a rationale against this move, typing "champions league" would still link to all of these competitions, whereas if you type "CL" at the moment you have to navigate two disambiguation pages! The move could be made less troublesome still if "champions league" redirected to the subsection for content originally on this page. 82.5.72.161 (talk) 23:38, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Champions Tennis League
I would say, that the Champions Tennis League should be included in other sports. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.183.59.40 (talk) 03:13, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Should redirect to UEFA C.L. because it's the original
The exact term "Champions League" was invented specifically for what was before then the European Cup. All the others (in any other sport including other soccer competiotions) are copycats.

That fact in combination with the (most commonly used) stats heavily favors and actually mandates a redirect. Loginnigol (talk) 15:11, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Parallel rendering

Parallel rendering (or distributed rendering) is the application of parallel programming to the computational domain of computer graphics. Rendering graphics can require massive computational resources for complex scenes that arise in scientific visualization, medical visualization, CAD applications, and virtual reality. Recent research has also suggested that parallel rendering can be applied to mobile gaming to decrease power consumption and increase graphical fidelity. Rendering is an embarrassingly parallel workload in multiple domains (e.g., pixels, objects, frames) and thus has been the subject of much research.

Workload distribution
There are two, often competing, reasons for using parallel rendering. Performance scaling allows frames to be rendered more quickly while data scaling allows larger data sets to be visualized. Different methods of distributing the workload tend to favor one type of scaling over the other. There can also be other advantages and disadvantages such as latency and load balancing issues. The three main options for primitives to distribute are entire frames, pixels, or objects (e.g. triangle meshes).

Frame distribution
Each processing unit can render an entire frame from a different point of view or moment in time. The frames rendered from different points of view can improve image quality with anti-aliasing or add effects like depth-of-field and three-dimensional display output. This approach allows for good performance scaling but no data scaling.

When rendering sequential frames in parallel there will be a lag for interactive sessions. The lag between user input and the action being displayed is proportional to the number of sequential frames being rendered in parallel.

Pixel distribution
Sets of pixels in the screen space can be distributed among processing units in what is often referred to as sort first rendering.

Distributing interlaced lines of pixels gives good load balancing but makes data scaling impossible. Distributing contiguous 2D tiles of pixels allows for data scaling by culling data with the view frustum. However, there is a data overhead from objects on frustum boundaries being replicated and data has to be loaded dynamically as the view point changes. Dynamic load balancing is also needed to maintain performance scaling.

Object distribution
Distributing objects among processing units is often referred to as sort last rendering. It provides good data scaling and can provide good performance scaling, but it requires the intermediate images from processing nodes to be alpha composited to create the final image. As the image resolution grows, the alpha compositing overhead also grows.

A load balancing scheme is also needed to maintain performance regardless of the viewing conditions. This can be achieved by over partitioning the object space and assigning multiple pieces to each processing unit in a random fashion, however this increases the number of alpha compositing stages required to create the final image. Another option is to assign a contiguous block to each processing unit and update it dynamically, but this requires dynamic data loading.

Hybrid distribution
The different types of distributions can be combined in a number of fashions. A couple of sequential frames can be rendered in parallel while also rendering each of those individual frames in parallel using a pixel or object distribution. Object distributions can try to minimize their overlap in screen space in order to reduce alpha compositing costs, or even use a pixel distribution to render portions of the object space.

Open source applications
The open source software package Chromium provides a parallel rendering mechanism for existing applications. It intercepts the OpenGL calls and processes them, typically to send them to multiple rendering units driving a display wall.

Equalizer is an open source rendering framework and resource management system for multipipe applications. Equalizer provides an API to write parallel, scalable visualization applications which are configured at run-time by a resource server.

OpenSG is an open source scenegraph system that provides parallel rendering capabilities, especially on clusters. It hides the complexity of parallel multi-threaded and clustered applications and supports sort-first as well as sort-last rendering.

Golem is an open source decentralized application used for parallel computing that currently works with rendering in Blender and has plans to incorporate more uses.
