USS
Careful with the USS articles. The parens are the ship hull number and the proper title of the ship. Yes, they eventually should have index pages for the numerous ships that carry the same name. A strict removal of the paren is not a good idea in this case. Not a complaint, just a note of caution. Jinian 15:40, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC) (copied from the village pump by SirJective)

 * Yes, I agree with you. This seems to be a case where the parenthesis is an important part of the article title. --SirJective 20:34, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Symphonies
Careful with Symphony No. 94 (Haydn). It's just a random fact about Haydn that he wrote so many symphonies, and a title like "Symphony No. 94" would be a bizarre and baffling way to designate Haydn's 94th symphony. Ditto for other numbered symphonies, sonatas, etc. I guess this is might be obvious, but just in case... So many articles seem to get mutilated by bots. Cheers, Opus33 03:58, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes, we have the same problem at de. I currently don't know that solution was found there. The articles should probably stay at their place, but it may be discussed if redirects are useful there.
 * The same holds for Sonatas, String Quartets and other titles that are more part of enumerations than real names. --SirJective 22:29, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Salamis class cruiser
In the case of this article, the parenthesis are only there to denote the TV show. Removing the parenthesis on this article doesn't effect the content because the first line also explains from which TV show the ship orignated. The same is more or less true for the other articles of UC gundam ships. Just be careful if you move or rename them because of lot of the gundam ship pages link to one another.TomStar81 07:13, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

List of North American named passenger trains
The parent page for the parenthetical versions of this subject is List of named passenger trains, which is a worldwide (albeit mostly North American-centric right now) list of trains. I've made List of North American named passenger trains a redirect to the proper parent page. slambo 20:54, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Is this a good idea?
There are plenty of subjects where the subject someone wants to write about is clearly not the significant one, the one that people would mean if they typed in the non-parenthesized version of the title. An example of this would be The Cold Equations (The Twilight Zone), an adaptation of the original story The Cold Equations from the 1980s Twilight Zone revival. There are also numerous subjects where the article title without the parentheses refers to an article that should not be written, since it would be a dictdef, like Teacher's Pet (Buffy episode). Are you sure that asking people to "fix" these things is a good idea? -- Antaeus Feldspar 22:25, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * So you say that episode titles should keep their parenthesis, even without an existing non-parenthesized title. That's fine with me.

 * I don't want to ask people to "fix" every single item on this list. Perhaps that is not clear enough from the text. At the german WP I was asked to create such a list. Many of the parentheses used there were considered superfluous and have been removed. Some of the articles were listed due to missing disambig pages, and new disambig pages have been created. I thought (and still think) it would be a good idea to create this list here, to get the same effect: Removing superfluous parentheses or creating disambiguation pages.

 * As has been noted earlier, not all article titles on this list need to be "fixed" but instead should stay as they are.
 * Idea: These titles could be collected in another list (maybe on a corresponding talk page) so they wont be listed again. This could include single titles, like 'The Flow of (u)', and regular expressions, like '^USS_' to catch all USS articles, or '\(.*episode.*\)$' to catch all and every title containing "episode" in the parenthesis. (The regexps should be listed separately, because some characters need to be escaped.)
 * --SirJective 22:29, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Well, unlike wiki-markup problems, where it's fairly clear once the automated scanning has detected the unbalanced brackets/quotes/etc what needs to be done to fix it, in this case it seems to me to be more of a judgement call. That's what causes my concern and my caution:  someone with a lot of enthusiasm and willingness to help but not as much judgement or as good judgement as they think might see the list, say "Oh!  All of these should be done right away!" and give us a real trouble restoring the ones that they did that they shouldn't have.

 * Creating regexes to exclude some categories from showing up in the list is one step, but the step I'd take instead is to give more guidance on the same page as the list to help people understand which are "valid" parenthesized titles, and which ones are not -- similar to the way exceptions to the "brackets should be balanced" rules and handling of the exceptions are discussed here. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:34, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Another situation in which parentheses may be inevitable arises, for example, in naming an article about the novel "The Watcher". There are actually at least two novels of that name – one written in 1851, and one in 1981. There are also TV shows, episode names, film names, and song names. (See the disambiguation currently listed under "Watcher".) I have just finished creating article titles (but not articles)  "The Watcher (novel, 1851)" and "The Watcher (novel, 1981)".

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Dionisio. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dionisio~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Talk:Hiroshige

Surname-only-page title justification
Following Wikipedia policy on article names (which says "What .. would the average user of the Wikipedia put into the search engine?") we have been listing Japanese woodblock prints artists under the names they are commonly known by in the West - which means we do not use their complete names (which are rarely used in the West, and for artists of this era change over time anyway). Please see Talk:Sharaku for an extended discussion on this topic. Please leave them where they are. Thank you. --Noel 20:36, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Encarta, Webmuseum, and WP
This edit claims the Hiroshige was copied from Encarta. I don't have access to Encarta, but most of the text has been copied from the WebMuseum with this edit. The WebMuseum license allows that. But where did the WebMuseum get their article? And where did Encarta get theirs? Can someone compare to Encarta? --Rl 18:17, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

 * There is a small bit of resemblance here, but I doubt there is significant sharing. --Maru 18:24, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

 * For example, here's a page derived from the '96 Encarta http://www.values.ch/Painters/Hiroshige/hiroshige.htm; but while there are unavoidable similarities foisted upon the two articles by the subject matter and encyclopedic style, I do not consider them copyright-infringement level. --Maru 18:26, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I had looked at that page before, but I hadn't noticed the Encarta notice. I don't agree with your interpretation. It's clearly literal copying of a complete article. I compared the articles sentence for sentence, and the differences amount to minor copyedit. Two or three sentences deleted, a couple of words reshuffled. --Rl 19:04, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

 * /removes foot from mouth, so he can see the link.
 * Err. Y'know, I should probably have read that more carefully. Agree. --Maru 02:37, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

 * It is possible, though unlikely, that both Encarta and Webmuseum used the same Public Domain source (the subject is certainly old enough). I think we should revert. --Rl 09:19, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Revert to what? There doesn't seem to be a pure version worth having in the page history, according to my cursory glance. I think we should instead rewrite. I just went to the Brooklyn Museum today and saw two of his prints and one of Hiroshige II's (they weren't on display on their own, but as part of a whole exhibit on the Thames, along with a bunch of nice Monets), which AFAIK is the only institution in the US to have a set of his "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo"; I also bought the book which reproduces the series, along with a rather good biographical introduction. We can use that book of the same name as a source to rewrite and expand. The only problem is me having enough time to read the book and rewrite the article, so this is by no means the only possibility. There is no rush anyhow. --Maru 01:46, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

It might be best to create a new article Hiroshige/temp and replace the current article with the new one. We can write a decent stub and fill the rest in later. – By the way, I have added a warning to the WebMuseum entry in Free or semi-free non-Public-Domain information resources. --Rl 06:55, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Started a substub for it, using the pieces of the article surely good. --Maru 19:28, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Excellent. If that's alright with you, I am going to list the article on WP:CP. That should get the article replaced with your new stub. --Rl 20:05, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I hope you weren't talking about the sub-stub :) ; but if you want the main article deleted, you could just ask an admin. Looking at the article history and us two would easily convince one to do it for us. --Maru 03:17, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I leave it to you then. I'm rarely successful in my attempts to get an admin to do my bidding :-). Rl 10:16, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Replacement of copyvio
I've deleted the original copyvio article and replaced it with the temp article, as requested (I've also reformatted the new article, so that the image and text are properly aligned). Good luck with the rewrite! --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 09:07, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Thx. --Rl 09:33, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Concur. --Maru 15:55, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Removing webmuseum link
We haven't used it as a reference for the new article, and it may invite others to copy stuff from there too (because the webmuseum pages are supposedly GFDL compatible). What do you think about removing the reference section for now? --Rl 21:13, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I dunno... If we remove it, some well-intentioned soul could well come by and readd it or its material, unwittingly; and it would be too easy to simply forget to re-add it. Perhaps we can simply add a note to the effect that it's non-free? Also: what was up with your recent edits? Pretty strange prose. --Maru 02:33, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Hiroshige name
What is up with this guy's name? I've seen "Andro Hiroshige", "Ando Hiroshige", and "Ichiyusai Hiroshige". Which is right? For that matter, how do you pronounce "Hiroshige" anyway? --Maru 03:49, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * The German WP mentions that later he was called 歌川広重 (Utagawa Hiroshige). – The Andro or Andō is most likely just an artifact from different people trying to write a Japanese name with Roman letters. Hmm... I guess that wasn't all that helpful, was it? :-) --Rl 07:17, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * So I guess we can use "Utagawa Hiroshige" (Western naming order, right?) as the standard, since Andro and Ando are according to you bad romanizations. But that doesn't explain "Ichiyusai". --Maru 18:03, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * You are right, it doesn't. And you should ignore me, I am just guessing. It's pretty obvious that Andro and Andō are both the same name written differently. The others are distinct. I found this name on the web: "Utagawa (Ando Tokutaro) Hiroshige". Oops, yet another name. Tokutaro. The only constant is Hiroshige. Except that he is also known as Hiroshige I, because he had a student who became known as Hiroshige II. Fun, ain't it? --Rl 18:40, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I knew about Hiroshige II, since one of the prints up at the Brorklyn Museum was his, and he edited and expanded the 100 famous views of places to its grand total (of I think) 118 woodblock prints. Sounds like a lot of redirects are warranted. *sigh*.  But can we agree on "Utagawa Hiroshige"?  Or do you think another is more suitable? --Maru 19:15, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Google counts some 20'000 pages for both Ando and Utagawa. The article should mention both. I just wish I could tell the reader how each name came about. Alas, I have no clue. — By the way, you could look at other articles with similar issues for inspiration, say Vladimir Lenin. --Rl 19:28, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * _Sigh_. I really want to make a good article of this, but I just don't have the background. Oh well.  We'll do what we can, and hope that'll not be too bad. --Maru 04:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Andō is the first family name that Hiroshige was born with, the full name being Andō Tokutaro. However, after he studied with the artist Utagawa Toyohiro (head of the Utagawa school at the time), he then changed his family name to Utagawa to signify his alliance with the Utagawa school in 1812. It as at this point that he took the artistic name of Hiroshige, thus becoming known as "Utagawa Hiroshige." Artists would often change their name several times over their career to signify changes in their artistic development. Hiroshige is known by many including "Ichiyūsai Hiroshige," "Ichiryūsai Hiroshige," and many others.

Rewrite
I've rewritten as best as I can. Please review and add to it. --Maru 01:36, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

 * For pointers, the French wikipedia has a kick-ass article. --Maru (talk) 23:18, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Pronunciation of "Hiroshige"
The IPA given in the article gives a common way that Westerners pronounce the name, but it is quite incorrect. The "o" and "e" are short, not long. Also there is no stress on the "shi" syllable; in fact the "i" of "shi" is almost inaudible in the Japanese pronunciation. Does anyone know the correct IPA representation of the Japanese "r"? I'll come back later with a proposed better IPA rendering. --McKay 23:01, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

 * So what you are saying is that the pronunciation in Japanese is closer to "hirosh-ge" than it is "hero-SHE-gay." Correct? - Parsa (talk) 17:29, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Japanese phonology gives the Japanese r as . I don't know or understand IPA, but I wonder if

 * would be any closer?

 * A further comment is that different languages have different pronunciations. When you arrive at the best representation of the Japanese pronunciation, it's a good idea to label it as the Japanese pronunciation. --Fg2 10:21, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, closer. This IPA stuff makes my head hurt :-).  I think the first letter ("hi") is, and the third ("shi") is .  I wonder what the aim should be here.  Probably fewer people understand Japanese IPA symbols than understand Japanese sounds.  McKay 12:21, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I believe listing the original pronunciation in IPA would be better too; if people were trying to pronounce the name in a way particular to their own country or language, wouldn't they be able to derive that from just the Roman transcription? - 132.229.183.49 10:08, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Samurai Champloo appearance?
A ukiyo-e artist by the name of Moronobu Ishikawa (in the English dub, at least) shows up in the fifth episode of the anime Samurai Champloo. In the episode, he attempts to stow away on a ship to the West; he doesn't make it, but one of his works does, and is said to inspire Van Gogh in a manner very similar to Hiroshige's.  Does this qualify as an appearance of Hiroshige under another name, and thus justify an "In Popular Culture" section with one or two lines detailing the appearance? -Toptomcat 22:55, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I think so. While Hiroshige didn't have any yakuza connections so far as is known, the Van Gogh thing seems a pretty direct reference. --Gwern (contribs) 01:21 23 November 2006 (GMT)

 * Another question is whether it should be added to an article. All Wikipedia editors are welcome to contribute to the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan. Fg2 01:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Arguments for notability: Samurai Champloo is quite a popular anime, its creator also did the legendary Cowboy Bebop and was a contributor to the impressive Animatrix, and the entire fifth episode revolves around the Moronobu character.  It isn't a simple cameo. -Toptomcat 16:32, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Whoop. I may have made a mistake. I found the Wikipedia page for a Moronobu Hishikawa, also a ukio-e artist, who seems to have been the artist referred to in the Champloo episode.  However, Hishikawa did not influence Van Gogh- that aspect of the Champloo character does still seem to have been lifted from Hiroshige.  Does this still deserve a mention in the article? My gut says no... -Toptomcat 17:04, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Date of death
This website claims that 'Hiroshige passed away on the sixth day of September of the year 1858' rather than the date currently in the infobox. Can anyone who can translate the text in File:Portrait à la mémoire d'Hiroshige par Kunisada.jpg confirm if this is true? JMiall ₰  16:19, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I imagine it's because the Japanese government didn't adopt the Gregorian calendar until 9 November 1872. Months and days before that are based on the lunisolar calendar.  I don't know of a site that can do it, but I imagine converting "sixth day of ninth month of Ansei" to Gregorian will give you 12 October 1858. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 21:09, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
 * this site does the conversion and it does. So the quote above is based on a misunderstanding rather than the different dates originating from different sources. Good. JMiall  ₰  21:39, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers

Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers is an American fast casual chain specializing in chicken fingers founded in 1996 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, by Todd Graves and Craig Silvey. The company is named after Graves' dog, a yellow Labrador. Other yellow Labradors have served as company mascots, as well as certified therapy animals.

History
Founders Todd Graves and Craig Silvey were studying at different universities when they wrote a plan for a chicken-finger restaurant which Silvey submitted in a business plan-writing course, receiving a C-minus grade. At the time, Graves worked at Guthrie's Chicken Fingers.

The business plan was rejected numerous times by potential investors, so Graves and Silvey earned the needed money working various manual labor jobs. They obtained an SBA loan, which they used to open their first restaurant, located in Baton Rouge at the intersection of Highland Road and State Street near the LSU campus. Silvey sold his share of the partnership shortly after the second restaurant opened.

In March 2020, many of Cane's locations switched from dine-in to pick-up and take-out service only because of the COVID-19 pandemic, while others closed temporarily. As of July 2020, certain locations had reopened their dining rooms, although Graves said the company was in no rush to do so on the full scale.

In 2021, in response to a shortage of workers, the company began dispatching hundreds of corporate employees to work in its restaurants as cooks and cashiers, in addition to their existing duties regarding the hiring of new employees. The company planned to hire 10,000 new employees. The company's co-CEO said that corporate employees are trained in the kitchen and on the register under normal circumstances.

In 2022, Raising Cane's sued a shopping center in Hobart, Indiana. After the restaurant chain had signed a long-term lease, it came to light that the shopping center had a non-compete agreement with McDonald's which prohibited other vendors selling deboned chicken products in the complex.

International expansion
The chain first began expanding internationally in 2015, opening its first restaurant in Kuwait. The namesake mascot, a dog, is not seen on signage and merchandise, as dogs are not popular in Kuwait due to religious reasons.

Young Life

Young Life is an evangelical Christian organization based in Colorado Springs, Colorado which focuses on young people in middle school, high school, and college.

Week-long Summer camps are a major focus, and these have a definite evangelizing aspect. For example, there are large-group “Bible talks” once or twice daily often followed by small-group “cabin time” discussions.

Young Life estimates, “33% of all summer campers meet Jesus for the first time. (This is based on our own camp director reports as to how many Bibles we gave out, how many kids went on new believer walk, and those who stood at ‘Say-So.’)”

The organization was started in Gainesville, Texas in 1941 by Presbyterian minister Jim Rayburn and is currently led by president and CEO Newt Crenshaw. Young Life operates globally using several different organizations with different focuses.

As of 2021, Young Life was under investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for allegedly failing to protect its employees against sexual misconduct and racial discrimination. One alleged victim of sexual abuse reported that she informed more than a dozen people about the harassment she faced, being told at one point that it was "God's plan" for her. Her case was dismissed after she received a settlement from Young Life.

History
In 1941, Presbyterian seminary student Jim Rayburn started Young Life. He had been challenged to come up with ways to connect with and reach high school students who showed no interest in Christianity. He began hosting a weekly club which featured one or two skits, as well as a simple message about Jesus.

The Young Life website credits the beginning to Clara Frasher, an elderly woman who around 1933 recruited friends to help her pray for teenagers attending Gainesville High School. In 1939, Jim Rayburn who was a young seminarian started a chapter of the Miracle Book Club. He also worked with local pastor Clyde Kennedy. The Young Life approach is to go where teenagers are and make friends with them, thereby earning “the right to be heard.” In the late 1940s at Wheaton College in Illinois, the organization developed its combination of using both paid staff and volunteers.

Also per Young Life's website, they have had partnerships with Fuller Theological Seminary, as well as other seminaries.

Methods
Young Life operates using the "5 C's" of contact work, club, campaigners, camp, and committee. In the 2021-2022 year, an average of 294,761 teens attended weekly club and an average of 127,709 attended weekly campaigners, and was led by 46,340 volunteer leaders.

 * Contact work: meeting and befriending teens where they are
 * Club: weekly large-group meetings
 * Campaigners: weekly small group "bible studies" for teens wanting to grow in their faith
 * Camp: overnight weeklong (or weekend) camps at one of Young Life's 26 camps
 * Committee: parents and community members who oversee and guide Young Life in local areas

Ministry Areas
Young Life operates several different ministries with specific focuses:

 * Young Life: a ministry for high school-aged students
 * Wyldlife: a ministry for middle school-aged students
 * Young Life College: a ministry for college-aged students
 * YoungLives: a ministry for pregnant and parenting teenagers
 * Young Life Multiethnic: a ministry with a special focus on serving teens of color in under-resourced communities

Numbers and locations
Young Life maintains summer camps in 18 American states as well as camps in British Columbia, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Scotland, Armenia, and France. Overall, there are 26 camps, with 6 located outside the United States.

In addition to regular summer camps, Young Life operates 6 "adventure" camps which offer campers and their leaders unique outdoor-based experiences. In "Base Camp Adventures", campers stay in yurts or cabins while participating in daily activities whereas "Trail Adventures" allows for campers to participate in backpacking-based camping. Young Life also operates two "discipleship focus" camps, a ten week long work/study program for college students.

The largest of Young Life camp is the Washington Family Ranch (and accompanying Big Muddy Ranch Airport) in Antelope, Oregon. The ranch was formerly the site of an commune in the Rajneesh movement.

Young Life hosted 215,202 campers in the 2021-2022 camping season.

Evangelizing aspects
The Summer camps have a definite evangelizing or witnessing emphasis with large-group “Bible talk” once or twice daily often followed by small-group “cabin time” discussions. For example, large group might involve 500 teenagers and small group might be 12 teenagers.

Young Life itself estimates, “33% of all summer campers meet Jesus for the first time. (This is based on our own camp director reports as to how many Bibles we gave out, how many kids went on new believer walk, and those who stood at ‘Say-So.’)”

According to a 1994 Vancouver Sun newspaper article, out of 350 students attending one particular week-long session at the Malibu Camp in British Columbia, Canada, more than 100 publicly testified during the informal ceremony of “Commitment Night” on the final night saying they had committed their lives to Jesus.

One camper said, “You’re treated like an adult. There’s a lot more freedom here than other Christian camps.”

However, another camper said, “But I’m starting to feel a lot of pressure to become a Christian. I used to just sit there and agree with them, just to get them off my back. But now I’m ticked.”

Statement of Non-negotiables
In November 2007, Jeff McSwain, the Area Director of Durham and Chapel Hill, along with others, publicly took issue with the organization's presentation of the concept of sin. McSwain's theology emphasizes that “God has a covenant, marriage-like relationship with the world he has created, not a contract relationship that demands obedience prior to acceptance.” McSwain also said that he felt Young Life's 2007 “statement of non-negotiables” often ended up sounding “more Unitarian than Trinitarian by drawing a sharp contrast between the holy God and incarnated Son who ‘actually became sin.’”

Tony Jones describes Young Life's Statement of “non-negotiables” as telling staffers that “they must not introduce the concept of Jesus and his grace until the students have been sufficiently convinced of their own depravity and been allowed to stew in that depravity (preferably overnight).” Eight members of Young Life's teaching staff based in Durham, North Carolina resigned their positions after these “non-negotiables” were announced.

LGBTQ+ policy
Young Life (USA and Canada) allows LGBTQ students to participate in Young Life activities, but does not allow them to volunteer or take leadership roles. In the organization's forms homosexuality is described as a “lifestyle” which is “clearly not in accord with God's creation purposes.” Conner Mertens, the first active college football player to come out as LGBTQ, was active in the group as a teenager, and planned to work with the group in college, but was not allowed due to his sexuality.

Young Life's policy also extends to LGBTQ allies. Local leader Pam Elliott stepped down after being asked to remove a photo from her Facebook page showing her support for the LGBTQ community.

Age to Age

Age to Age is the fourth studio album by Christian music singer Amy Grant, released in 1982 on Myrrh Records.

Age to Age was Amy Grant's breakthrough album, finally earning her serious recognition within the burgeoning Contemporary Christian music community as it ushered her into stardom, and also contributed to the creation of the mold for the modern Contemporary Christian music star. The hit success of the album's first two singles, "Sing Your Praise to the Lord," featuring a piano intro based on J.S. Bach's "Fugue No. 2 in C Minor" from The Well Tempered Clavier, Book 1, and "El Shaddai," saw its sales take off, selling well over a million copies. It became the first Christian music album by a solo artist to be certified gold in 1983, and the first ever platinum Christian music album in 1985.

The album was listed at No. 92 in the 2001 book, CCM Presents: The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music and it was one of the fastest-selling specifically Christian albums ever released. It sold about 5,000 to 6,000 copies a week on average, which was unheard of for a Christian album at the time. Dan Harrell, one of Grant's managers, claimed that it was the fastest selling record in her record company's history. Indeed, it became the first Christian album by a solo artist to be certified gold (1983), and the first Christian album to be certified platinum. It became so popular that it topped Billboard's Christian albums chart for 85 weeks, including the entire year of 1983, and was named Gospel Album of the 1980s by Billboard. The album title comes from a prominent lyric in one of the album's most prominent tracks, "El Shaddai".

Sainte-Geneviève Library

Sainte-Geneviève Library (Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève) is a university library of the Sorbonne-Nouvelle public liberal arts and humanities university, located at 10, place du Panthéon, across the square from the Panthéon, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris.

It is based on the collection of the Abbey of St Genevieve, which was founded in the 6th century by Clovis I, the King of the Franks. The collection of the library was saved from destruction during the French Revolution. A new reading room for the library, with an innovative iron frame supporting the roof, was built between 1838 and 1851 by architect Henri Labrouste. The library contains around 2 million documents, and currently is the principal inter-university library for the different branches of University of Paris, and is also open to the public. It is administratively affiliated with Sorbonne Nouvelle University.

The Monastic library
The Abbey of St Genevieve is said to have been founded by King Clovis I and his queen, Clotilde. It was located near the present church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont and the present Panthéon, which was built atop the original abbey church. The abbey was said to have been founded at the beginning of the 6th century at the suggestion of Saint Genevieve, who selected the site, across from the original Roman forum. She died in 502 and Clovis died in 511, and the basilica was completed in 520. It held the tombs of Saint Genevieve, Clovis, and his descendants.

By the 9th century, the basilica had been transformed into an Abbey church, and a large monastery had grown up around it, including a scriptorium for the creation and copying of texts. The first record of the existence of the Sainte-Genevieve library dates from 831, and mentions the donation of three texts to the Abbey. The texts created or copied included works of history and literature, as well as theology, However, in the course of the 9th century, the Vikings raided Paris three times. While the settlement on the Ile-de-la-Cité was protected by the river, the abbey of Saint-Genevieve was sacked, and the books lost or carried away.

The library was gradually reassembled. During the reign of Louis VI of France (1108–1137) the Abbey had a particularly important role in European scholarship. The doctrines originally taught by Saint Augustine, and promoted by Suger (1081–1151), the influential religious advisor to the King, required the reading aloud of scriptures, and specified that each monastery have a workshop to produce books and place to keep them. From 1108 to 1113, the scholar Peter Abelard taught at the Abbey school, challenging many aspects of traditional theology and philosophy. Around about 1108, the theology school of the Abbey of Saint Genevieve, was joined together with the School of Notre Dame Cathedral and the school of the Royal Palace to form the future University of Paris. By the early 13th century the university library was already famous throughout Europe. The early holdings of the library from this time are listed in a 13th-century inventory (Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, MS lat. 16203, fol. 71v). The 226 titles and authors included in the 13th century inventory include bibles, commentaries and ecclesiastical history; but also books on philosophy, law, science and literature. It was open not only to students, but also to French and foreign scholars. The manuscripts were of considerable value: each manuscript was marked with a warning notice that any person who stole or damaged a manuscript would be punished by anathema, or excommunication from the church.

15th Century to the 18th century
Shortly after Gutenberg produced his first printed books in the mid-15th century, the library began collecting printed books. The University of Paris invited several of his collaborators to Paris to begin a new publishing house. The library possesses a text of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili published in 1499, with engravings after the drawings of Andrea Mantegna and Giovanni Bellini. At the same time, the Abbey continued to produce manuscripts illuminated by hand. The Wars of Religion seriously disrupted the activities of the library. In the 16th and 17th century he library ceased to acquire new books and stopped producing catalogs of its holdings. Many manuscripts were dispersed and sold.

The library was brought back to life beginning in 1619, during the reign of Louis XIII, by Cardinal Francois de Rochefoucauld. He saw the library as an important weapon of the Counter-Reformation against Protestantism. He donated six hundred volumes from his personal collection,. The new library director, Jean Fronteau, asked writers including Pierre Corneille, and famous librarians including Gabriel Naudé, to help update and expand the collection. However, he had to leave, under suspicion of being a heretical Jansenist. He was succeeded by Claude Du Mollinet, librarian from 1673 until 1687. Du Mollinet founded a famous small museum, the Cabinet of Curiosities, with Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquities, medals, rare minerals and stuffed animals, within the library. By 1687 the library possessed twenty thousand books, and four hundred manuscripts.

During the late 18th century, the library acquired copies of the major works of the Age of the Enlightenment, including the Encyclopédie of Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert. In the same spirit, the library and the Cabinet of Curiosities were opened to the public. The Library was still attached to the Abbey and the University of Paris, but it ceased to be a library of theology only; by the mid-eighteenth century a majority of the works were in other fields of knowledge. While the Abbey still paid part of the cost, the major part was paid by the City of Paris.

The Revolution and its aftermath
Following the French Revolution, the status of the Library changed dramatically. In 1790, the Abbey was secularized, and all of its property, including the library, was confiscated, and the community of monks who ran the library was broken up. Due to the diplomatic skills of the director, Alexandre Pingré, his reputation as an astronomer and geographer, and his contacts within the new government, the collection was not dispersed, and actually grew, as the library took in the collections confiscated from other Abbeys. The library was granted equal status with the National Library, the future Mazarine Library and Arsenal Library, and could draw books from the same sources. Pingré remained as director until his death in 1796.

In 1796, the name of the library was changed; it became the National Library of the Panthéon. named for the neighboring Abbey church, then under construction, which had also been confiscated and renamed. While the collection of books remained intact, the famous cabinet of Curiosities was broken up and some its collection was dispersed to the National Library and Museum of Natural History. However, the Library did manage to retain a large number of objects, including the celebrated astronomical clock, the oldest example of its kind, acquired by the library in about 1695, and a variety of terrestrial and celestial globes, as well as objects illustrating cultures around the world,  which are on display in the library today. The library also displays a notable collection of eighty-six busts of French scientists, some made by the leading French sculptors of the 17th and 18th centuries, including busts by Antoine Coysevox, Jean-Antoine Houdon, and François Girardon.

The early 19th century
The library continued to flourish in the early 19th century, under the French Directory and then the Empire of Napoleon. After the death of Pingré the library was directed by Pierre Claude Francois Daunou. He traveled to Rome, following Napoleon's army, and arranged for the transfer to Paris of books confiscated from the papal collections. The library also received collections of books confiscated from nobles who had fled abroad during the Revolution. At the time of the fall of Napoleon, the library had a collection of one hundred ten thousand books and manuscripts.

The fall of Napoleon and the restoration of the monarchy brought new problems for the library. The collection of the library had more than doubled in size, and needed more space. However, the library shared the 18th-century building of the old Abbey Sainte-Genevieve with a prestigious school, originally known as the central school of the Panthéon, then as the Lycée Napoleon, and then and today as the Lycée Henri IV. The two institutions battled for space between 1812 and 1842. Though the library was supported by famous writers, including Victor Hugo and Jules Michelet, the son of King Louis-Philippe  was a student at the lycée, and the lycée won. The library was finally expelled from its building. Some features of the old building, including the painted dome, can still be seen within the Lycée.

The Labrouste building
After the expulsion of the library from its old site, the government decided to build a new building for the collection. It was the first library in Paris to be constructed specifically as a library. The site chosen was close to the old library. It had originally been occupied by the medieval Collége de Montaigu, where Erasmus and Ignatius of Loyola, John Calvin and François Rabelais had been students. After the Revolution that building had been transformed into a hospital and then a military prison, and was largely in ruins. It was to be demolished to make way for the new library.

The architect chosen for the project was Henri Labrouste. Born in 1801, he had studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts where he won the Prix de Rome in 1824, and spent six years studying Italian classical and Renaissance architecture. He had received few architectural commissions, but in 1838 he received the title of Inspector of Historic Monuments, and in this capacity he began to plan the new building. Since the Lycée wanted the space as soon as possible, all the books had been moved in 1842 to a temporary library in the only surviving building of Montaigu College. His project was confirmed by the Chamber of Deputies in 1843, and a budget voted. The building was completed in December 1850. and opened to the public on 4 February 1851.

The new library showed the influence of the prevailing academic beaux-arts style and the influence of Florence and Rome, but in other ways it was strikingly original. The base and facade resembled Roman buildings, with simple arched windows and discreet bands of sculpture. The façade, exactly the length of the reading room, and the large windows, expressed the function of the building. The primary decorative element of the façade is a list of names of famous scholars.

Unlike earlier buildings, the major decorative element of the building was not on the façade, but in the architecture of the reading room. The slender iron columns and the lace-like cast iron arches under the roof were not concealed; combined with the large windows they gave an immediate impression of space and lightness. It was a major step in the creation of modern architecture.,

The large (278 by 69 feet) two-storied structure filling a wide, shallow site is deceptively simple in plan: the lower floor is occupied by stacks to the left, rare-book storage and office space to the right, with a central vestibule and stairway leading to the reading room which fills the entire upper story. The vestibule was designed to symbolize the beginning of a journey in search of knowledge, the visitors arrives through a space decorated with murals of gardens and forest and passes busts of famous French scholars and scientists. The monumental staircase from the ground floor to the reading room is placed so it doesn't take any space from the reading room. Labrouste also designed building so that a majority of the books (sixty thousand) were in the reading room, easily accessible, with a minority (forty thousand) in the reserves. The iron structure of this reading room—a spine of sixteen slender, cast-iron Ionic columns dividing the space into twin aisles and supporting openwork iron arches that carry barrel vaults of plaster reinforced by iron mesh— is revered by Modernists for its introduction of high technology into a monumental building.

Labrouste went on to design the Salle Labrouste, the main reading room in the old Bibliothèque Nationale de France in the Rue de Richelieu, Paris, built between 1862 and 1868. Later in the century, the American architect Charles Follen McKim used the Sainte-Geneviève Library building as the model his design of the main building of the Boston Public Library. It also influenced the design of university libraries in the United States, including Low Memorial Library at Columbia University in New York, the Doe Library of the University of California at Berkeley by John Galen Howard, also a former student of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and the Margaret Carnegie Libarary at Mills College in California, designed by Julia Morgan, also a former student of the Ecole des Beaux Arts.

Later years – expansion and modification
Between 1851 and 1930, the library's collection grew from one hundred thousand volumes to over a million, requiring a series of reconstructions and modifications. In 1892, a hoist was installed to lift books from the reserves to the reading room; it is now on display. A more serious change was made between 1928 and 1934. The number of seats in the reading room was doubled to seven hundred fifty. To accomplish this, the seating plan of the reading room was drastically changed; the original plan had long tables which stretched the entire length of the room, divided by a central spine of bookshelves, making the room seem even longer. In the new plan, the central bookshelves were removed and tables crossed the room, increasing the seating but reducing the linear effect. As the collection continued to grow, a new annex in the modernist style was added in 1954. The later computerization of the catalog created space for an additional one hundred seats. The building was classified as a national historic monument in 1992. Today the library is classified as a national library, a university library and a public library.

Notable users
Notable users of the library included the paleontologist Georges Cuvier, the botanist Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, the historian Jules Michelet, and Victor Hugo. It also appears as a setting in works of fiction, including in Les Illusions Perdues of Honoré de Balzac, in the novels of Simone de Beauvoir, in Ulysses by  James Joyce and the writings of Guillaume Apollinaire. The Portuguese novelist Aquilino Ribeiro was a user of the library. The artist Marcel Duchamp was employed in the book reserve in 1913, at the time he was enjoying his first public exhibition in New York, and in his notes for his most famous sculpture Large Glass, he recommends that those seeking to understand him "read the entire section on perspective in the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève."

Portrait Gallery (album)

Portrait Gallery is the fifth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Harry Chapin, released in 1975.

History
An early version of "Someone Keeps Calling My Name", done in a folk-rock vein reminiscent of The Byrds, appeared on the obscure 1966 album Chapin recorded with his brothers, Chapin Music!. The main guitar riff (and entire arrangement) in this version is strikingly similar to The Blue Things' equally obscure 1966 track "Doll House." Another version of the song was recorded for the 1972 album Sniper and Other Love Songs under the title of "City Sweet", but didn't make the final cut. It was later released in 2004 on the Heads & Tales / Sniper & Other Love Songs CD compilation.

The album artwork was designed and illustrated by Milton Glaser.

Record World said the single "Tangled Up Puppet "shows the lyricist at his incisive best."
