Global Underground

Global Underground is a British record label and compilation series founded in 1996 by Andy Horsfield and James Todd. The label symbolised the international explosion of dance music during the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s and first manifesto for high-end DJs such as Tony De Vit, Sasha, Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia, Nick Warren, Dave Seaman, Darren Emerson, James Lavelle, Carl Cox, and Solomun.

The name Global Underground originally refers to a series of electronic music compilation albums which reflect the performances of various DJs in venues around the world. The Global Underground series was released by a record label formerly known as Boxed which featured several sister series such as Nubreed and Electric Calm. Boxed closed in 2001 and was superseded by Global Underground Ltd. Since its first release in 1996, the series was well received and became a hallmark in the progressive house world. The dance music style featured is mostly progressive house, but there is some house, trance house, hard house, techno and breakbeat included in the releases. The first five installments were live recorded from respective clubs, while the rest are mixed and recorded in a studio.

Background
Each issue in the series is based on the idea that Global Underground would take DJs to play a party in one of the most unusual, exotic clubbing locations on Earth. The set is then released in a 2CD format that is formatted to capture the night of the party and the overall feel of the DJ visit in music, contemporary photography by photographer Dean Belcher and extensive sleeve notes.

There are consistent characteristics in almost every album in the series including:
 * Each album being mixed by a globe-trotting DJ.
 * The prominent influence of the location on the music and packaging.
 * Extensive sleeve notes describing local clubbing scene and/or venue often written by Mixmag Editor Dom Phillips.
 * Each album consisting of two discs.
 * The song list is edited from the complete set based on a retrospective view of the performance.
 * Photography by Dean Belcher

International recognition
Billboard has recognized Global Underground as the first DJ mix compilation to place high-quality photographs of DJs on the album covers. This, it further asserted, played a part in turning DJs into superstar figures within the culture of electronic dance music.

Thrive Records was the U.S. distributor for some of the early Global Underground releases. Global Underground albums had an alternate numbering sequence and had different artwork, but were otherwise the same.

Catalogue
This is the complete listing of available albums in the Global Underground main series which includes the sequential number of the album in the series, the performing DJ/producer, the location in which the performance took place and the official release date. The listed catalog numbers are for the British releases. The numbers on the albums distributed by Thrive in the United States are shown in parentheses - those without such labels do not have a differing release number. Global Underground also has several "sub-series" entitled Nubreed, Prototype, 24:7, Electric Calm, Afterhours, and most recently Global Underground DJ.

In 2003, the Global Underground franchise began their "GU Music" imprint. Up until this time, they were strictly a label that dealt in DJ compiled and mixed CDs. GU Music allowed Global Underground to get into full length artist albums and Vinyl/CD/MP3 single releases. The GU Music team commented: "Having nurtured some of the worlds finest DJs we have applied this expertise to original music, cherry picking the coolest future talent from across the globe..." They have featured releases from such artists as UNKLE, Lostep, and Trafik. In 2007, it expanded with the release of the compilation GU Mixed which started a series of the same name that consisted of music sought from GU Music.

GU002
In Boxed's UK releases, GU002 was the never released second installment in the Global Underground series (in Thrive's US re-numbered releases, Paul Oakenfold's New York mix was released as GU002). Global Underground jumped directly from GU001: Tony De Vit - Live In Tel Aviv to GU003: Nick Warren - Prague, which resulted in a lot of controversy and rumours on the nature of GU002. However, GU002 does exist in form of the tape pack of Tony De Vit's Tel Aviv CD as the actual catalogue number of the release is GU002T. When Boxed started the GU series in 1996, they did not have a clear vision about the numbering scheme (later to become part of their image), which resulted in the "missing" release.

The Norwegian climber linked here turns up a Philosopher with nothing in his biography about climbing mountains.

Nonsense sentence
"It is the closest mountain to Aconcagua which is higher than Aconcagua, and thus determines Aconcagua's topographic isolation." This sentence is meaningless. If we are referring to the antipode of Aconcagua, just say so clearly. 209.184.113.70 (talk) 18:53, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Tumbuka language

Tumbuka is a Bantu language which is spoken in Malawi, Zambia, and Tanzania. It is also known as Chitumbuka or Citumbuka — the chi- prefix in front of Tumbuka means "in the manner of", and is understood in this case to mean "the language of the Tumbuka people". Tumbuka belongs to the same language group (Guthrie Zone N) as Chewa and Sena.

The World Almanac (1998) estimated that there were approximately two million Tumbuka speakers, though other sources estimated a much smaller number. The majority of Tumbuka speakers are said to live in Malawi. Tumbuka is the most widely spoken of the languages of Northern Malawi, especially in the Rumphi, Mzuzu, Mzimba, and Karonga districts.

There are substantial differences between the form of Tumbuka spoken in urban areas of Malawi (which borrows some words from Swahili and Chewa) and the "village" or "deep" Tumbuka spoken in villages. The Rumphi variant is often regarded as the most "linguistically pure", and is sometimes called "real Tumbuka". The Mzimba dialect has been strongly influenced by Zulu (chiNgoni), even so far as to have clicks in words like chitha "urinate", which do not occur in other dialects.

Throughout the history of Malawi, only Tumbuka and Chewa (Nyanja) have at one time or another been the primary dominant language used by government officials. However, the Tumbuka language suffered a lot during the rule of President Hastings Kamuzu Banda, since in 1968 as a result of his one-nation, one-language policy it lost its status as an official language in Malawi. As a result, Tumbuka was removed from the school curriculum, the national radio, and the print media. With the advent of multi-party democracy in 1994, Tumbuka programmes were started again on the radio, but the number of books and other publications in Tumbuka remains low.

Orthography
Two systems of writing Tumbuka are in use: the traditional spelling (used for example in the Chitumbuka version of Wikipedia and in the newspaper Fuko), in which words such as banthu 'people' and chaka 'year' are written with 'b' and 'ch', and the new official spelling (used for example in the Citumbuka dictionary published online by the Centre for Language Studies and in the online Bible), in which the same words are written with 'ŵ' and 'c', e.g. ŵanthu and caka. (The sound 'ŵ' is a closely rounded [w] pronounced with the tongue in the close-i position.) There is some uncertainty over where to write 'r' and where 'l', e.g. cakulya (Dictionary) or cakurya (Bible) 'food'. (In fact [l] and [r] are allophones of the same phoneme.) There is also hesitation between the spellings 'sk' and 'sy' (both miskombe and misyombe ('bamboo') are found in the Citumbuka dictionary).

Vowels
The same vowels, , , , and syllabic  are found in Tumbuka as in the neighbouring language Chewa.

Consonants
Tumbuka consonants are also similar to those of the neighbouring Chewa, but with certain differences. The continuant sounds, and , which are absent or marginal in Chewa, are common in Tumbuka. Also common are the palatalised sounds, , , , , , and. In Tumbuka there are no affricates such as Chichewa, , ,. The sounds and  are never nasalised in Tumbuka, so that Chewa nsómba ('fish') = Tumbuka somba. The sound is found only in foreign words such as shati ('shirt') and shuga ('sugar'). Tumbuka sometimes corresponds to Chewa, for example Chewa kudwala 'to be ill' = Tumbuka kulwala, Chewa kudya 'to eat' = Tumbuka kulya. The pronunciation of "sk" and "zg" varies according to dialect.

Tumbuka consonants are frequently either palatalised (i.e. followed by /y/) or rounded (i.e. followed by /w/.) Some of them can also be preceded by a homorganic nasal (/n/, /ng'/ or /m/). The possible consonant combinations are shown in the table below:

Tone
One of the main differences between Chewa and Tumbuka is that Chewa is a tonal language, whereas in Tumbuka there are no distinctions of tone between one word and another.

Tumbuka has a tonal accent but in a very limited way, in that every word, spoken in isolation, has the same falling tone on the penultimate syllable (which also coincides with stress). It is therefore not possible in Tumbuka to contrast two different words or two different tenses tonally, as it is in Chichewa and other Bantu languages. However, this penultimate falling tone occurs not on every word, but only on the last word of a phonological phrase; e.g. in the following sentence, only the second word has a tone, the first being toneless:
 * ti-ku-phika sî:ma 'we are cooking porridge'

A greater variety of tonal patterns is found in the ideophones (expressive words) of Tumbuka; for example Low (yoyoyo 'disintegrating into small pieces'), High (fyá: 'swooping low (of birds)'), High-Low (phúli 'sound of thing bursting'), and Low-High (yií 'sudden disappearance'), etc.

Intonational tones are also used in Tumbuka; for example, in yes-no questions there is often a High-Low fall on the final syllable of the question:
 * ku-limirâ-so ngô:mâ? 'are you also weeding the maize?'

There does not seem to be any consistent, direct correlation between tone in Tumbuka and focus.

Noun classes
As is usual with Bantu languages, Tumbuka nouns are grouped into different noun classes according to their singular and plural prefixes. Each class of noun has its own adjective, pronoun, and verb agreements, known as 'concords'. Where the agreements disagree with the prefix, the agreements take precedence in deciding the class of noun. For example, the noun katundu 'possessions', despite having the prefix ka-, is placed in class 1, since one says katundu uyu 'these possessions' using the class 1 demonstrative uyu. Malawians themselves (e.g. in the University of Malawi's Citumbuka dictionary) refer to the noun classes by traditional names such as "Mu-Ŵa-"; Bantu specialists, however, refer to the classes by numbers (1/2 etc.) corresponding to the noun-classes of other Bantu languages. Occasionally nouns do not correspond to the classes below, e.g. fumu 'chief' (class 9) irregularly has a plural mafumu in class 6.

Class 1/2 (Mu-Ŵa-)

Some nouns in this class lack the prefix Mu-:
 * Munthu pl. ŵanthu (banthu) = person
 * Muzungu pl. ŵazungu (bazungu) = foreigner, white man
 * Mwana pl. ŵana (bana) = child
 * Bulu pl. ŵabulu = donkey
 * Sibweni pl. ŵasibweni = maternal uncle
 * Katundu (no pl.) = goods, possessions

Class 3/4 (Mu-Mi-)
 * Mutu pl. mitu = head
 * Mkuyu pl. mikuyu = fig-tree
 * Moyo pl. miyoyo = life
 * Mtima pl. mitima = heart

Class 5/6 (Li-Ma-)
 * Bele (bhele pl. mabele (mabhele) = breast
 * Boma (bhoma) pl. maboma (mabhoma) = government, district
 * Botolo (bhotolo) pl. mabotolo (mabhotolo) = bottle
 * Fuko pl. mafuko = tribe, nation
 * Jiso pl. maso = eye
 * Maji (no singular) = water
 * Phiri pl. mapiri = hill
 * Suzgo pl. masuzgo = problem, trouble
 * Woko pl. mawoko = hand

Class 7/8 (Ci-Vi-)
 * Caka (chaka) pl. vyaka = year
 * Caro (charo) pl. vyaro = country, land
 * Ciŵeto (chibeto) pl. viŵeto (vibeto) = farm animal
 * Cidakwa (chidakwa) pl. vidakwa = drunkard
 * Cikoti (chikoti) pl. vikoti = whip

Class 9/10 (Yi-Zi-)
 * Mbale pl. mbale (mambale) = plate
 * Ndalama pl. ndalama = money
 * Njelwa pl. njelwa = brick
 * Nkhuku pl. nkhuku = chicken
 * Somba pl. somba = fish

Class 11 (Lu-)

Some speakers treat words in this class as if they were in class 5/6.
 * Lwande = side
 * Lumbiri = fame
 * Lulimi = tongue

Class 12/13 (Ka-Tu-)
 * Kanthu (kantu) pl. tunthu (tuntu) = small thing
 * Kamwana pl. tuŵana (tubana) = baby
 * Kayuni pl. tuyuni = bird
 * Tulo (no singular) = sleep

Class 14/6 (U-Ma-)

These nouns are frequently abstract and have no plural.
 * Usiku = night
 * Ulimi = farming
 * Ulalo pl. maulalo = bridge
 * Uta pl. mauta = bow

Class 15 (Ku-) Infinitive
 * Kugula = to buy, buying
 * Kwiba (kwibha) = to steal, stealing

Classes 16, 17, 18 (Pa-, Ku-, Mu-) Locative
 * Pasi = underneath
 * Kunthazi (kuntazi) = in front, before
 * Mukati = inside

Concords
Verbs, adjectives, numbers, possessives, and pronouns in Tumbuka have to agree with the noun referred to. This is done by means of prefixes, infixes, or suffixes called 'concords' which differ according to the class of noun. Class 1 has the greatest variety of concords, differing for pronouns, subject prefix, object infix, numbers, adjectives, and possessives:
 * Mwana uyu = this child
 * Mwana yumoza = one child
 * Mwana uyo = that child
 * Mwana yose = the whole child
 * Mwana waliyose = every child
 * Mwana wakamuwona = the child saw him
 * Mwana muchoko (coko) = the small child
 * Mwana wa Khumbo = Khumbo's child
 * Mwana wane = my child
 * Mwana wawona = the child has seen

Other noun classes have a smaller variety of concords, as can be seen from the table below:

Sample phrases and text
The following is a list of phrases that can be used when one visits a region whose primary language is Tumbuka:

Subject prefix
All verbs must have a subject prefix, which agrees with the subject noun. For example, the word ciŵinda 'hunter' is class 7, so if it is subject, the verb has the prefix ci-:
 * ciŵinda ci-ka-koma nkhalamu = 'the hunter killed a lion'

It is also possible for the subject to be a locative noun (classes 16, 17, 18), in which case the verb has a locative prefix:
 * pamphasa pa-ka-khala mwana = 'on the mat there sat down a child'

The locative prefix ku- (class 17) is also used impersonally when discussing the weather:
 * kukuzizima madazi ghano = 'it's cold these days'

When the subject is a personal pronoun, the subject prefixes are as follows (the pronoun itself may be omitted, but not the subject prefix):
 * (ine) n-kha-gula = 'I bought' (nkha- stands for ni-ka-)
 * (iwe) u-ka-gula = 'you bought' (informal, singular)
 * (iyo) wa-ka-gula = 'he, she bought'
 * (ise) ti-ka-gula = 'we bought'
 * (imwe) mu-ka-gula = 'you bought' (plural or respectful)
 * (iwo) ŵa-ka-gula = 'they bought', 'he/she bought' (plural or respectful)

In the perfect tense, these are shortened to n-a-, w-a-, w-a-, t-a-, mw-a-, ŵ-a-, e.g. t-a-gula 'we have bought'.

In Karonga dialect, in the 3rd person singular a- is found instead of wa-, and the 3rd plural is wa- instead of ŵa-, except in the perfect tense, when wa- and ŵa- are used.

Object-marker
To indicate the object, an infix can be added to the verb immediately before the verb root. Generally speaking, the object-marker is optional:
 * Pokani wa(yi)gula galimoto = 'Pokani has bought a car' (class 9)
 * Changa waka(mu)nyamula katundu = 'Changa carried the luggage' (class 1)

The object-marker agrees with the class of the object, as shown on the table of concords above.

The object-marker can also be a locative (classes 16, 17, or 18):
 * Kondwani wa(pa)kwera pa nyumba = 'Kondwani has climbed on top of the house'

The locative markers for personal pronouns are as follows:
 * waniona (ine) = 'he has seen me'
 * wakuona (iwe) = 'he has seen you'
 * wamuona = 'he has seen him/her'
 * wationa = 'he has seen us'
 * wamuonani = 'he has seen you' (plural or respectful)
 * waŵaona = 'he has seen them'

Tenses
Tenses in Tumbuka are made partly by adding infixes, and partly by suffixes. Unlike Chichewa, tones do not form any part of the distinction between one tense and another.

In the past a distinction is made between hodiernal tenses (referring to events of today) and remote tenses (referring to events of yesterday or some time ago). However, the boundary between recent and remote is not exact.

Another distinction is made between past and perfect tenses. When a perfect tense is used it carries an implication that the resulting situation still exists at the time of speaking, for example: 'the pumpkins have spread (zathambalala) over the garden'. The present perfect can also be used in verbs expressing a current situation such as ndakhala 'I am sitting' or ndakondwa 'I am pleased'. The remote perfect is used for events which happened some time ago but of which the effects still apply today, such as libwe lilikuwa 'the rock has fallen' or walikutayika 'he (has) died'.

The future tenses similarly distinguish near from remote events. Some tenses imply that the event will take place elsewhere, for example ndamukuchezga 'I will go and visit'.

Compound tenses are also found in Tumbuka, such as wati wagona 'he had slept', wakaŵa kuti wafumapo 'he had just left' and wazamukuŵa waguliska 'he will have sold'.

Other future tenses are given by Vail (1972) and others.

In the 1st person singular, ni-ku- and ni-ka- are shortened to nkhu- and nkha-: nkhuluta 'I am going', 'I go', nkhalutanga 'I used to go'.

Negative verbs
To make the negative of a verb in Tumbuka, the word yayi or cha(ra) is added at or near the end of the clause. It seems that yayi is preferred by younger speakers:
 * wakulemba kalata yayi
 * 'he is not writing a letter'

 * tizamugwira ntchito cha machero
 * 'we will not work tomorrow'

With the present perfect tense, however, a separate form exists, adding -nda- and ending in -e:
 * enya, nakumana nawo
 * 'yes, I have met him'

 * yayi, nindakumane nawo
 * 'no, I haven't met him'

The Ngoni influence on Tumbuka
Words of Ngoni (Zulu/Ndwandwe) origin found in Tumbuka:

All Tumbuka dialects have to some extent been affected by the Ngoni language, most especially in Mzimba District of Malawi. Ngoni is a language that originates from the Ndwandwe people who were neighbours to the Zulu clan prior to being conquered by the Zulu and being assimilated into the Zulu identity. The language the Ndwandwe spoke was thus nearly identical Zulu. Below are some examples of words found in chitumbuka that are of Zulu/Ndwandwe origin, though most of them have original Tumbuka counterpart words that can be used interchangeably at the speakers will, (excluding 'munwe/minwe' meaning 'finger/fingers' for example, that seemingly did not have an original counterpart or the original word has been lost). The word njowi is used for finger/s.

An example of Tumbuka
Months in Tumbuka:

An example of a folktale translated into Tumbuka and other languages of Northern Malawi is given in the Language Mapping Survey for Northern Malawi carried out by the Centre for Language Studies of the University of Malawi. The Tumbuka version of the folktale goes as follows:

 * KALULU NA FULU (Citumbuka)
 * Fulu wakaluta kukapemphiska vyakulya ku ŵanthu. Pakuyeya thumba lake wakacita kukaka ku cingwe citali na kuvwara mu singo, ndipo pakwenda thumba lake likizanga kunyuma kwakhe.

 * Wali mu nthowa, kalulu wakiza kunyuma kwakhe ndipo wakati “bowo, thumba lane!” Fulu wakati, "Thumba ndane iwe, wona cingwe ici ndakaka sono nkhuguza pakwenda.” Kalulu wakakana nipera, ndipo wakati “Tilute ku Mphala yikateruzge.” Mphala yikadumula mlandu na kuceketa cingwe ico Fulu wakakakira thumba. Ŵakatola thumba lira ndipo ŵakapa kalulu.

 * Pa zuŵa linyakhe Kalulu wakendanga, Fulu wakamsanga ndipo wakati, "Bowo, mcira wane!" Kalulu wakati, “Ake! Fulu iwe m'cira ngwane." Fulu wakakana, ndipo wakati, "Ndasola ngwane." Ŵakaluta ku mphala, kuti yikaŵeruzge. Ku Mphala kula mlandu ukatowera Fulu. Ŵakadumula m'cira wa Kalulu nakupa Fulu.

 * (Translation)
 * THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE
 * Tortoise went to beg food from people. To carry his bag, he tied it to a long string and wore it round his neck. As he walked along, the bag was coming behind him.

 * As he was on his way, Hare came up behind him and said, "There it is, my bag!" Tortoise said "The bag is mine, see this string I've tied now I'm pulling it as I go." Hare refused to accept this and said "Let's go the Court, so that it can judge us." The Court examined the case and cut Tortoise's string which he'd tied the bag with. They took that bag and gave it to Hare.

 * Another day when Hare was walking along, Tortoise found him and said, "There it is, my tail!" Hare said, "Nonsense, this is my tail, Tortoise." Tortoise refused to accept this and said, "What I've got is mine." They went to the Court so that it could make a judgement. In that Court, the case went in Tortoise's favour. They cut off Hare's tail and gave it to Tortoise.

Main Directorate of State Security

The Main Directorate of State Security (Glavnoe upravlenie gosudarstvennoy bezopasnosti, Главное управление государственной безопасности, ГУГБ, GUGB) was the name of the Soviet Union's most important security body within the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD) USSR. At the time of its existence, which was from July 10, 1934 to February 3, 1941, the GUGB reflected exactly the Secret Operational Directorate within OGPU under the Council of People's Commissars, which operated within OGPU structure from 1923 to 1931/32. An intelligence service and secret police from July 1934 to February 1941, it was run under the auspices of the Peoples Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD). Its first head was first deputy of People's Commissar of Internal Affairs (then Genrikh Yagoda), Commissioner 1st rank of State Security Yakov Agranov.

History
The Main Directorate of State Security evolved from the Joint State Political Directorate (or OGPU). On February 3, 1941, the Special Sections (or OO) of the GUGB-NKVD (responsible for counter-intelligence in the military) became part of the Army and Navy (RKKA and RKKF, respectively). The GUGB was disbanded as an organization within NKVD USSR. The units that operated in GUGB were reorganized and made the core of the newly made People's Commissariat of State Security or NKGB.

Following the outbreak of World War II, the NKVD and NKGB were reunited, not as GUGB but as totally separate directorates. On July 20, 1941, Army and Airforce counter-intelligence was returned to the NKVD as Directorate of Special Departments under Viktor Abakumov; in January 1942, Navy CI followed. In April 1943, it was again transferred to the Narkomat of Defence and Narkomat of the Navy, becoming SMERSH (from Smert' Shpionam or "Death to Spies"); at the same time, the GUGB was again separated from the NKVD as NKGB.

GUGB heads
By the end of 1937, the GUGB was the most powerful and influential organ in the NKVD structure. GUGB departments (or Sections) dealt with - intelligence, internal security, counter-intelligence, protection of government and secret communications. The first chief of the GUGB was Yakov Agranov, Commissioner 1st rank of State Security and first deputy of People's Commissar of Internal Affairs. The next chief of the GUGB from April 15, 1937, to September 8, 1938, was komkor Mikhail Frinovsky, who was succeeded by Lavrenty Beria, then just promoted to Commissioner 1st rank of State Security. When Beria became People's Commissar of Internal Affairs (head of NKVD), Commissioner 3rd rank of State Security Vsevolod Merkulov became his first deputy and the new and final head of GUGB.

Organization
Between 1934 and 1941, the Main Directorate of State Security went through several organizational changes. In January 1935, there were nine departments in the GUGB structure:

 * (head of GUGB) – Commissioner 1st rank of State Security Yakov Agranov
 * 1) Operational Department (headed by) – Karl Pauker
 * 2) Special Department – Gleb Bokii
 * 3) Department of Economics – (ЭКО/EKO) – Lev Mironov
 * 4) Special Department – (OO) – Mark Gai
 * 5) Secret Political Department – (СПО/SPO) – Georgy Molchanov

 * 7) Department of Transport – (ТО) – Vladimir Kichkin
 * 8) Department of Information and Statistic – (УСО/USO) – Yakov Genkin
 * 9) Staff Department – (OK) – Yakov Weynschtok

By the end of 1937 the People's Commissar of Internal Affairs Nikolai Yezhov, in his order #00362 had changed the number of departments from five to twelve.

 * (head of GUGB) – komkor Mikhail Frinovsky
 * Department 1 [Protection of Government] – Israel Dagin

 * Department 10 [Prison] – Yakov Weynschtok
 * Department 11 [Maritime Transportation] (ВО/WO) – Victor Yrcev
 * Department 12 [Technical and Operational] (OOT) – Semyen Zhukovsky

GUGB Ranks
The GUGB had a unique system of ranks, a blend of the position-rank system used in the Red Army and personal ranks used in the Militsiya; the rank insignia was also very distinct. Even though insignia introduced in 1937 followed the Red Army collar patch patterns, it assigned them to very different ranks for GUGB and Internal Troops/political/specialist branches, with GUGB rank placed at least one grade higher than a similar army equivalent.

When GUGB and Militsiya ranks were replaced with military ranks and insignia in February 1943, Major to Sergeant ranks were aligned with Colonel to Junior Lieutenant, and Senior Major and up were replaced with various degrees of Commissioner. In 1945, General Commissioner Lavrentiy Beria received the rank of the Marshal of the Soviet Union, and other GUGB Commissioners received ranks from Generals of the Army to Major General.

 * Ranks of GUGB 1935–1943
 * генеральный комиссар ГБ – Commissioner General of State Security
 * комиссар ГБ 1-го ранга – Commissioner 1st rank of State Security
 * комиссар ГБ 2-го ранга – Commissioner 2nd rank of State Security

Dieselhed

Dieselhed was a San Francisco–based band, originally from Arcata, California.

Early career
Dieselhed formed in 1989 in Arcata, California later moving to San Francisco, California, playing a blend of country, punk, and pseudo-classic rock. Drummer Heifetz spread his time between Dieselhed and the genre-bending experimentalists Mr. Bungle. Singer-songwriter Virgil Shaw previously played in Arcata outfit Brent's T.V. Bassist Ellis had been a founding member of the local disbanded funk rock band Psychefunkapus, and Jonathan Segel was a former member of local indie-faves Camper Van Beethoven.

The band signed a recording contract with independent label Amarillo Records in the early 1990s. Dieselhed released three full-length albums for Amarillo while maintaining a national touring schedule throughout the 1990s, often accompanied by road manager John Tynan.

Dieselhed's self-titled 1993 debut was received well, leading to a modest spurt of college radio airplay. The band wound up selling out Amarillo's first two pressings of the album. Their second album, Tales of a Brown Dragon, came out in 1995 and helped to expand their growing fan base. Dieselhed became regulars at the SXSW music festival held each year in Austin, Texas. Their third album, 1997's Shallow Water Blackout, was produced by Dwight Yoakam engineer Dusty Wakeman. Dieselhed followed their 1997 release with two U.S. tours opening for Link Wray. For these dates Ellis and Heifitz would return to the stage after their opening set each night to back Wray. The two would go on to become Wray's regular backing band from 1997 to 2003.

Later years
In 1998 Dieselhed signed a new contract with Bong Load Records, a label still riding the success of their recording and release of Beck's critically acclaimed gold record Mellow Gold. Dieselhed issued Elephant Rest Home in 1998 (a collection of previously unreleased songs) and their final album, the rarely seen Chico and the Flute in 2000 on Bong Load before disbanding later in 2000.

Lead songwriter Virgil Shaw went on to release two critically acclaimed solo albums, Quad Cities and Still Falling, for San Francisco's independent label Future Farmer Records. Co-songwriter Zac Holtzman now plays in the Los Angeles–based band Dengue Fever. Danny Heifetz, now raising a family in Australia, stays busy with local studio session work and drum lessons. Atom Ellis resides between San Francisco and Los Angeles and performs as bassist with Neil Hamburger, The New Cars and The Tubes. Guitarist Shon McAllin is currently a licensed contractor residing in the deep woods of Northern California.

Hi everyone. If this is your first time filling out a survey, read this. To fill out a questionaire sheet, simply send me a post to my talk page, clearly stating your choice for each answer. For example: For Question 1, you might choose to place on the message, "Q1: A)" or "Question 1: Choice A." etc etc. It's up to you, as long as I get the general jist of what your choices are. You have around 1 week to return a survey sheet, but late entrie's will be accepted.

Remember however, your personal choices may be read whilst they are on my talk page. I will understand if you don't wish to answer some or all of the survey due to this. For this reason I have also placed an "Abstain" choice for each question. Try & answer truthfully, or don't answer at all if you can't.

However, your personal choices will not be expressed on the survey's outcome, instead it will be part of a larger finding, such as "60% of people eat chocolate, 25% never eat chocolate & 5% of people chose to abstain from answering..." I will never say, "90% of people eat chocolate, while only Fruityman said he didn't..." This would be an invasion of privacy. However, if a question has (Please explain) or (Please elaborate) as a choice, your specific answer may be used in the survey outcome, although your name will not be. If a question does not have (Please explain) as a question choice, but your intended choice is not represented on the choice list, then feel free to provide another choice which fits your description.

You're probably getting bored reading all of this so I'll wrap up. To see outcomes of the results, see my Polls subpage. Feel free to comment on anything! Feedback is always welcome. Most importantly, have fun. Topics will vary greatly & surveys may be resent out at later times to re-assess a consensus if survey numbers have grown significantly. If you know anyone who would be interested in these surveys, send them to my talk page or if you see this survey sheet, send your own answers in! Thanks. -- Spawn Man.

Poll Response
Hi, Rentastrawberry, sorry for taking so long. I listen to WBRU and WHJY in Providence, as well as linking to WTUE in Dayton, Ohio. WHJY plays a lot of Ozzy and Rush; WTUE plays a lot more country influenced classic rock such as Joe Walsh, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels and Kid Rock, etc.

 * 1) War Pigs - Ozzy
 * 2) Invisible Airwaves - Rush
 * 3) Runnin' with the Devil - Van Halen
 * 4) Hell's Bells - AC DC
 * 5) Jeremy - Pearl Jam
 * 6) Purple Haze - Jimi
 * 7) Stupefied - Disturbed
 * 8) For Whom the Bell Tolls - Metallica
 * 9) Girls Girls Girls - Mötley Crüe
 * 10) Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers

10 best songs of Guitarmankev1
Great idea, but I feel so limited by only 10! Here's some really good songs, in no real order, really.

 * 1) "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
 * 2) "Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2" by Pink Floyd
 * 3) "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen
 * 4) "American Pie" by Don McLean
 * 5) "All along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix (I liked his version better.)
 * 6) "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd
 * 7) "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd
 * 8) "Creep" by Radiohead
 * 9) "Paint it, Black" by Rolling Stones
 * 10) "Hotel California" by The Eagles

Maybe "Theme from Metalocalypse" by Dethklok would be an alternate choice. --McTrixie 19:17, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Top 10 favorite songs
1)Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan is a genius, this song is his ultimate masterpiece and the greatest and most influential song ever written. 2)Blowin' In The Wind - Bob Dylan -  Great protest song, careful, enigmatic lyrics, and a stunning harmonica tune. 3)All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix - Although Dylan's version is also amazing, Jimi's version is incredible.         Packed with possibly one of the greatest guitar solo's of all time, the song's destructive and violent music incredibly contrast the gentle lyrics and harmonica of Dylan's. 4)The Weight - The Band - For some reason I just love this song. 5)Imagine - John Lennon - Imagine all the people... Great song, great message. 6)Satisfaction - Rolling Stones - Great song from one of the greatest rock n roll bands of all time. 7)Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana - Possibly the greatest modern rock song and the most influential and greatest song of the 90s 8)Layla - Derek and the Dominos - LAAAAAAAAAYLAAAAAH!!! Great song. 9)Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix - 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky 10) The Times They Are-a Changin' - Bob Dylan - Come gather round people, wherever you roam. And admit that the water around your head's grown. What a great song.

Congrats!
Congrats on getting Invasion to the main page yesterday. I'm surprised no one's already "congratted" you, so I thought I'd do it now. Yes, I've been on a wikibreak for a bit, & I still am in a way. Anyway, thought you'd like the message & hope you've had a good new years... :) Spawn Man 02:27, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank You
Thank you for offering to help with Eric Clapton articles and help is what I truly need. I think most big things are done of those type articles but minor issues pop up. If you could find references and put citations on the Eric Clapton and Blind Faith articles that would be greatly appreciated (especially the Eric Clapton article) and add on any info to the Derek and the Dominos page if you can because it's just a tad-bit too short to be a WP:FAC. That's all I can think of on the top of my head and good luck and godspeed. - Patman2648 07:39, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

The image (Image:All star.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Rentastrawberry/AllStar. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg, so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or    media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 03:11, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Asp.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Asp.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

This is slanted and biased, but here goes:
 * 1) "New York State of Mind" - Billy Joel
 * 2) "Distant Sun" - Crowded House
 * 3) "Something" - The Beatles
 * 4) "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - Nirvana

Fair use rationale for Image:Brandnewday.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Brandnewday.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk  04:08, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
