Horatio Walpole, 1st Baron Walpole

Horatio Walpole, 1st Baron Walpole, (8 December 1678 – 5 February 1757) was an English diplomat, politician and peer who served as the British ambassador to France from 1724 to 1730. He was the son of Robert Walpole and the younger brother of Robert Walpole, the first Prime Minister of Great Britain.

Family
The Walpoles owned land in Norfolk in the 12th century and took their name from Walpole, a village in the county. An early member of the family was Ralph de Walpole, bishop of Norwich from 1288 to 1299, and bishop of Ely from 1299 until his death on 20 March 1302. Among its later members were three brothers, Edward (1560–1637), Richard (1564–1607) and Michael (1570–1624), all members of the Society of Jesus. Another Jesuit in the family was Henry Walpole (1558–1595), who wrote An Epitaph of the life and death of the most famous clerk and virtuous priest Edmund Campion and was tortured and put to death on 17 April 1595.

Political career
Born at Houghton and educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge, Horatio Walpole became a fellow of King's. He entered Parliament in 1702, remaining a member for fifty-four years. In 1715, when his brother, Sir Robert, became first lord of the treasury, he was made Secretary to the Treasury, and in 1716, having already had some experience of the kind, he went on a diplomatic mission to The Hague. He left office with his brother in 1717, but he was soon in harness again, becoming secretary to the lord-lieutenant of Ireland in 1720 and Secretary to the Treasury a second time in 1721.

In 1722 he was again at The Hague, and in 1723 he went to Paris, where in the following year he was appointed envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. He got on intimate terms with Fleury and seconded his brother in his efforts to maintain friendly relations with France; he represented Great Britain at the congress of Soissons and helped to conclude the treaty of Seville (November 1729). He left Paris in 1730 and in 1734 went to represent his country at The Hague, where he remained until 1740, using all his influence in the cause of European peace. He was nonetheless able to stay involved in the affairs of the capital. He served, for example, in 1739, as a founding governor for London's most fashionable charity of the time, the Foundling Hospital.

After the fall of Sir Robert Walpole in 1742, Horatio defended his conduct in the House of Commons of Great Britain and also in a pamphlet, "The Interest of Great Britain steadily pursued". Later he wrote an "Apology", dealing with his own conduct from 1715 to 1739, and an "Answer to the latter part of Lord Bolingbroke's letters on the study of history" (printed 1763).

In 1724 he engaged Thomas Ripley to design him a new house at Wolterton in Norfolk to replace one that had burnt down. The house called Wolterton Hall was completed in 1742.

In 1756 he was created Baron Walpole, of Wolterton and he died 5February 1757 at his house in Whitehall.

Personal life
By his wife, Mary Magdalen Lombard, whom he married on 21 July 1720, he had nine children:
 * Horatio Walpole, 2nd Baron Walpole (1723–1809), created Earl of Orford in 1806
 * The Hon. Mary Walpole (born 25 February 1726), who married Maurice Suckling.
 * The Hon. Thomas Walpole (6 October 1727 – March 1803), who married Elizabeth Vanneck (died 9 June 1760) on 14 November 1753, and had issue.
 * The Hon. Richard Walpole (5 December 1728 – 18 August 1798), who married Margaret Vanneck (before 1742 – 9 May 1818) on 22 November 1758, and had issue.
 * Susan Walpole (3 May 1730 – 29 April 1732)
 * The Hon. Henrietta Louisa Walpole (28 November 1731 – June 1824)
 * The Hon. Anne Walpole (12 July 1733 – 25 November 1797)
 * Caroline Walpole (22 November 1734 – 11 January 1737)
 * The Hon. Robert Walpole (1736–1810)

Advanced z-transform

In mathematics and signal processing, the advanced z-transform is an extension of the z-transform, to incorporate ideal delays that are not multiples of the sampling time. It takes the form

 * $$F(z, m) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} f(k T + m)z^{-k}$$

where
 * T is the sampling period
 * m (the "delay parameter") is a fraction of the sampling period $$[0, T].$$

It is also known as the modified z-transform.

The advanced z-transform is widely applied, for example to accurately model processing delays in digital control.

Properties
If the delay parameter, m, is considered fixed then all the properties of the z-transform hold for the advanced z-transform.

Linearity

 * $$\mathcal{Z} \left\{ \sum_{k=1}^{n} c_k f_k(t) \right\} = \sum_{k=1}^{n} c_k F_k(z, m).$$

Time shift

 * $$\mathcal{Z} \left\{ u(t - n T)f(t - n T) \right\} = z^{-n} F(z, m).$$

Damping

 * $$\mathcal{Z} \left\{ f(t) e^{-a\, t} \right\} = e^{-a\, m} F(e^{a\, T} z, m).$$

Time multiplication

 * $$\mathcal{Z} \left\{ t^y f(t) \right\} = \left(-T z \frac{d}{dz} + m \right)^y F(z, m).$$

Final value theorem

 * $$\lim_{k \to \infty} f(k T + m) = \lim_{z \to 1} (1-z^{-1})F(z, m).$$

Example
Consider the following example where $$f(t) = \cos(\omega t)$$:

 * $$\begin{align}

F(z, m) & = \mathcal{Z} \left\{ \cos \left(\omega \left(k T + m \right) \right) \right\} \\ & = \mathcal{Z} \left\{ \cos (\omega k T) \cos (\omega m) - \sin (\omega k T) \sin (\omega m) \right\} \\ & = \cos(\omega m) \mathcal{Z} \left\{ \cos (\omega k T) \right\} - \sin (\omega m) \mathcal{Z} \left\{ \sin (\omega k T) \right\} \\ & = \cos(\omega m) \frac{z \left(z - \cos (\omega T) \right)}{z^2 - 2z \cos(\omega T) + 1} - \sin(\omega m) \frac{z \sin(\omega T)}{z^2 - 2z \cos(\omega T) + 1} \\ & = \frac{z^2 \cos(\omega m) - z \cos(\omega(T - m))}{z^2 - 2z \cos(\omega T) + 1}. \end{align}$$

If $$m=0$$ then $$F(z, m)$$ reduces to the transform

 * $$F(z, 0) = \frac{z^2 - z \cos(\omega T)}{z^2 - 2z \cos(\omega T) + 1},$$

which is clearly just the z-transform of $$f(t)$$.

Talk:Siege of Yorktown (1862)

Numerical figures
I've found a wide variety of numbers listed for the troops (from 11,000-13,000 confederate, 32,000-145,000 US) and casualties (from 320-482). I finally settled on the source listed because they gave precise values for everything. These might not be accurate, however, so if anyone can find correct values, please replace. --[[User:Brian0918|brian0918 talk]] 18:35, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Lee's Mill
I just returned from a trip to the Virginia Peninsula where I consulted with historians from Richmond Battlefield National Park. Apparently, "Lee's Mill" and "Dam No. 1" are not synonyms for the same battle. My original source for this was Sears, but these historians denigrated the accuracy of his account. The National Park Service, which does not include Lee's Mill in its CWSAC program, asserts that it occurred on April 5. The confusing aspect is that both battles happened within less than a mile of each other and both involved troops from Vermont. I will do some more research on Lee's Mill and update the article accordingly as soon as possible. Hal Jespersen 03:15, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I have updated the article to fix this. Hal Jespersen 17:33, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Why?
What were the goals of the North and the South when they fought the battle of york town? If you read this please edit this page to tell me. Nowhere else has it on their website, or at least i cant find it.

 * I think the actual article contains the answer to your question, but the Northern goal was to move up the Virginia Peninsula and capture Richmond. The Southern goal was to prevent that from happening, by stopping the Union advance in front of the Confederate entrenchments at Yorktown. Hal Jespersen 18:11, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

There are several citations to a publication called "ORA", but the links they go to are dead because Cornell has moved its collection to HathiTrust, and I can't figure out what this is supposed to be. — howcheng  {chat} 16:35, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Siege of Yorktown (1862) → Battle of Yorktown – I believe that reliable sources use both "Battle" and "Siege" to characterize this part of the Peninsula campaign, possibly with "Battle" being used more often. Technically, it was really more a battle than a siege, as there were Union attacks on the Confederate position and eventually the Confederates simply retreated up the Peninsula, not usually the outcome of a siege. The lead also uses "Battle of Yorktown" as the primary title in spite of the page name. The proposed target is currently a redirect to Siege of Yorktown as a primary redirect per a recent requested move discussion regarding that article as the primary topic for "Siege of Yorktown". If this move is supported as proposed, we can then use "Battle" and "Siege" as natural disambiguation between the two topics and avoid the need for parenthetical disambiguation, continuing to use hatnotes between the two topics. An alternative would be to maintain the Revolutionary War topic as the primary topic for "Battle of Yorktown" and move the Civil War article to Battle of Yorktown (1862) (currently a redirect here) if we still favored the use of Battle instead of Siege. Mdewman6 (talk) 01:20, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I don't know much about the American Revolutionary War, but I know that the Siege of Yorktown was a pivotal event.  If I see a reference to the Battle of Yorktown, I'm going to assume that it's related to the 1781 siege (maybe even the naval battle between French and British), and people aware of the 1781 siege but not really knowledgeable could easily guess that there was a battle along with it.  So even if there weren't a significant battle related to the 1781 siege, people are more likely to look for this title when looking for the 1781 siege rather than a rather minor 1862 engagement.  64.203.186.106 (talk) 16:11, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose per the 64. IP, any reference to a Civil War engagement at Yorktown will need disambiguation to make clear it is not about the far more prominent Revolutionary War engagement. SMALLDETAILS will not cut it. User:力 (power~enwiki,  π,  ν ) 20:25, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose Without prejudice since there were no sources or any other tangible evidence given to back up a page move. I would be willing to reexamine my position if there were any references or sources to support this move.-- JOJ  Hutton  21:09, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose as proposed. As already established, the AWI engagement is easily primary and is also referred to as the Battle of Yorktown. Battle of Yorktown (1862) would be okay if that's its common name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:40, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Claim Regarding Magruder And His Deception Tactics
The subsection of Battle entitled Union Advance and Lee's Mill contains this claim:

'''It has been claimed that Magruder attempted to deceive by moving infantry and artillery in a noisy, ostentatious manner to make the defenders seem a much larger forces than their actual numbers. ... However, his reports do not mention this and no reference before 1988 can be found claiming this, except for Shelby Foote's three volume history of the Civil War, first published in 1956. ... '''

There is abundant anecdotal evidence from Magruder's soldiers about his deception tactics, such as can be found on pages 37-38 pf Stephen Sears's To The Gates Of Richmond. TH1980 (talk) 01:17, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Due to the abundant evidence that Magruder did use deception tactics at Yorktown, and because the above is partially original research, I propose that the section quoted above be removed and replaced with a section that reflects the evidence deception tactics were used.TH1980 (talk) 01:35, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Are there any objections to this proposed change? TH1980 (talk) 04:17, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I support a change to this text. Everything I've read mentions Magruder's use of tactics to give the impression his force was larger than it actually was. Regardless, the current text in the article leaves much to be desired, especially no reference before 1988 can be found claiming this, except for Shelby Foote.... I get the desire to have contemporaneous sourcing for this, but overall this sounds like an effort to escape the reliable sources that exist, or cast Foote as not reliable, without offering any RS that directly refute the claim. Mdewman6 (talk) 19:14, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I would suggest we keep the point that Magruder's reports do not mention this, if we can source those. Mdewman6 (talk) 19:18, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I am having a hard time locating those reports. Does anyone know where Magruder's reports might be posted online?TH1980 (talk) 01:38, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I stil am having a tough time finding Magruder's reports online, but I've come up with this compromise text for the article:

Anecodtal evidence from Magruder's soldiers indicate he marched his troops back and forth throughout his lines as a ruse to make his forces look stronger, though Magruder's own reports do not mention this.

Thoughts, anyone? TH1980 (talk) 01:17, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I have gone and made the edit, retaining all the sources in that section. Discussion is still welcome, however. TH1980 (talk) 22:47, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I also removed this erroneous statment from the footnotes: The first mention of Magruder's theatrics is in McPherson, Battle Cry of Freedom, pg. 426, but is unreferenced. Writers before McPherson, such as Bruce Catton, discussed Magruder's ruse at Yorktown in their books. (See for example Catton, This Hallowed Ground, pg. 129.) TH1980 (talk) 22:57, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late comment, but the change to the text is definitely an improvement in my view. I think it would be good to cite instances where the deceptive tactics were mentioned, including Catton, Foote, and McPherson, regardless of any perceived problems with the citations or lack thereof regarding the matter in those sources- we'd merely be stating that those works by historians reported on the use of deception, and not stating any instances where RS have refuted the claim, because we are not aware of any. It is concerning that modern historians seem to be perpetuating the idea with no evidence of any primary sourcing, but it's not our job to fix that. Mdewman6 (talk) 00:05, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * What about a quote or two from the soldiers who recorded being used in deception tactics in their letters and diaries? Stephen Sears's To The Gates of Richmond contains a couple. TH1980 (talk) 03:32, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Anything that can be cited to support the claim would be helpful I think, especially if there are quotes of primary sources. Mdewman6 (talk) 03:39, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I added a quote derived from Sears's book which is from a Southern soldier who wrote about the deception tactics in his diary. TH1980 (talk) 01:40, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I could also add a quote from Sears's book from Mary Chestnut's diary about Magruder's tactics. Is that okay? TH1980 (talk) 02:39, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * All sounds good to me. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:46, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Pinstriping

Pin striping (or pinstriping) is the application of a very thin line of paint or other material called a pin stripe, and is generally used for decoration. Freehand pin stripers use a specialty brush known as a pinstriping brush.

Automotive, bike shops, and do-it-yourself car and motorcycle mechanics use paint pin striping to create their own custom look on the automotive bodies and parts.

Motorcycles
Pin striping can commonly be seen exhibited on custom motorcycles, such as those built by Choppers Inc., Indian Larry, and West Coast Choppers. The decorative use of pin striping on motorcycles as it is commonly seen today was pioneered by artists Kenny Howard (a.k.a. Von Dutch), Dean Jeffries, Dennis "Gibb" Gibbish, and Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. These artists are considered pioneers of the Kustom Kulture lifestyle that spawned in the early 1950s, and are widely recognized as the "originators of modern pin striping".

Automobiles
In automotive body work, pin stripes are a thin vinyl tape or paint. The tape versions are adhered directly to the painted surface in the pattern desired, whilst painted ones are done by skilled artists with 'sword' shaped brushes.

The goal of pin striping is to enhance the curves of the surface, and the lines are generally of a complementary color. In any other form of decorative pin stripes, the goal is the same. In addition and coincidentally, it can help to hide flaws in the surface such as a scratch or blemish.

Pin stripe décor is also applied to motorcycles, bicycles, semi trucks, boats, and surfboards. It is traditionally combined with freehand lettering and, to a lesser degree, sign making. The age of computers and vinyl decals helped undercut the base of traditional sign making and with it the traditional pin striper.

While stripers such as Von Dutch (Kenny Howard) and Ed "Big Daddy" Roth are possibly the best known early practitioners of 'modern' pin striping, many of the early stripers cite Tommy "The Greek" Hrones and Dean Jeffries as their major influences.

Pin striping is still practiced at shops around the world, and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars still pin stripes the "coachline" of that company's cars by hand.

Frühlingsstimmen

"Frühlingsstimmen", Op. 410 ("Spring's Voices," or commonly "Voices of Spring"; sometimes sung in Italian as "Voci di primavera") is an orchestral waltz, with optional solo soprano voice, written in 1882 by Johann Strauss II.

History
Strauss dedicated the work to the pianist and composer Alfred Grünfeld. The famous coloratura soprano Bertha Schwarz (stage name Bianca Bianchi) sang this concert aria at a grand matinée charity performance at the Theater an der Wien in aid of the "Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth Foundation for Indigent Austro-Hungarian subjects in Leipzig". The waltz was not a great success at its premiere, but was more successful when performed on Strauss' tour of Russia in 1886. A piano arrangement by the composer contributed much to its success beyond Vienna. Grünfeld, the work's dedicatee and a pianist and composer in his own right, also wrote and recorded his own concert transcription of the work for solo piano.

Bianca Bianchi was then a famous member of the Vienna Court Opera Theatre and Strauss was sufficiently inspired to compose a new work, a waltz for solo voice, for the acclaimed singer. The result was his world-renowned "Frühlingsstimmen" waltz which celebrated spring and remained one of the classical repertoire's most famous waltzes. The piece is sometimes used as an insertion aria in the act 2 ball scene of Strauss' operetta Die Fledermaus.

Music
The waltz makes a grand entry in the key of B-flat major with loud chords preceded with the waltz's three beats to the bar ushering the first waltz's gentle and swirling melody. The second waltz section, in E-flat major invokes the joys of spring with the flute imitating birdsong and a pastoral scene. The plaintive and dramatic third section in A-flat major and later in C minor probably suggests spring showers whereas the fourth section that follows breaks out from the pensive mood with another cheerful melody in A-flat major. The familiar first waltz melody makes a grand re-entrance, with Coda section, featuring a mocking imitation between the winds, and the strings, before its breathless finish, strong chords and the usual timpani drumroll and warm brass flourish. This is one of the very few Strauss Waltzes that ends, following the cadenza, on a struck quick Major chord. (B-Flat Major). A performance lasts between seven and nine minutes.

Instrumentation
The piece is scored for flute, piccolo, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, bass drum, military drum, harp, strings, and optional solo soprano voice.

Lyrics
The lyrics were created by Richard Genée (1823–1895).

Frühlingsstimmen in popular culture

 * "Frühlingsstimmen" is probably best known today from its use by the American slapstick comedy team The Three Stooges in their short films Micro-Phonies and Brideless Groom. In the former short, it is sung by Christine McIntyre. The idea for using it probably came from her, as she had sung it in an earlier 'soundie' sing-a-long short in which she featured. The audience was encouraged to keep quiet when McIntyre was singing the 'Voices of Spring' number.
 * Musical films with the name Frühlingsstimmen were made in Austria in 1933 (with music by Oscar Straus) and in 1952 (with music by Alfred Uhl).
 * The waltz was choreographed as a ballet by Sir Frederick Ashton, under the name Voices of Spring.

I have added sources that indicate the subject is running independently as a presidential candidate in Chile and have updated the page with sources. Please follow up if more sources are required. Bidding for presidential candidacy is newsworthy and the primarily sourced articles in Spanish verify the claim and push the subject over the notability threshold.

Elecciones los días domingo
No todas las elecciones desde 1989 han sido efectuadas un domingo. La elección presidencial de 1989 no fue un domingo, sino un jueves (14 de diciembre), la de 1993, un sábado (11 de diciembre) y la parlamentaria de 1997, también un jueves (11 de diciembre). La Constitución y la Ley Nº 18.700 (de votaciones populares y escrutinios) sólo establecen que la elección se llevará a cabo 90 días antes del día en que el presidente (o el parlamento) deba dejar su cargo (o renovarse). El año 2001, de manera excepcional, se le agregó un artículo transitorio a la Ley Nº 18.700, para que la elección parlamentaria de ese año se cambiara del martes 11 de diciembre (como lo contempla la Ley) al domingo 16 de diciembre. La reforma constitucional de 2005 estableció que la elección presidencial se llevaría a cabo en conjunto con la parlamentaria, pero aún así, "90 días antes de aquél en que deba cesar en el cargo el que esté en funciones".

En resumen, las elecciones no se llevan a cabo por ley los días domingo, sino sólo cuando caen por coincidencia en ese día (como en la pasada elección y la de 1999) o cuando se hacen ajustes legales transitorios que así lo permitan (como en 2001).

Pero te perdono, ya que eres muy joven para acordarte de cualquier elección anterior a la de 1999 ;-) ☆ CieloEstrellado 15:09, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

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. Rettetast 19:27, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Foto de Piñera
Estimado, B1mbo, la foto que sigues poniendo de Piñera es estéticamente inadecuada para el artículo en cuestión, te lo he dicho ya en innumerables oportunidades. Por favor no insistas. Pristino (talk) 03:24, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

 * First of all, there are no rules supporting what you're doing. Using professional and official photoshoots is the recomended thing instead of an amateur, blurred and moved image. WP:IMAGE says clearly: Poor quality images (too dark, blurry, etc.) or where the subject in the image is too small, hidden in clutter, ambiguous or otherwise not obvious, should not be used. Instead, you're boycotting Wikipedia changing the things in all the other languages and uploading a copy of the image even after the image was protected. --B1mbo (talk) 05:20, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The photo is neither dark nor blurry. Please stop changing the photo as you will inevitably get the article blocked just in time for the election, which will frustrate us both. As you have done most of the editing on the Spanish version and have barely touched the English version, it would seem that it is you who is trying to boycott this article by coming here and constantly changing the photo but contributing nothing else to the article. You should have noticed by now that I haven't gone to the Spanish-language version of the article to constantly change the photo of Piñera the way you do here. Do you want to call for a third opinion here? Pristino (talk) 00:50, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Move discussion
Can you move this discssion to the talk page of the page? Agreements on thing that have turned into an edit "conflict" should be developed in the talk page of the article not as private 1-1 agreements. Dentren |  Ta lk  01:23, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for updating the map for Pokemon Go! I noticed that you left out French Guiana though, perhaps because it was removed from the map before. Now that all of South America is reported to be able to play, with no special mention that French Guiana is being excluded, I think it's safe to colour in French Guiana as well.

Opinion polling for the 2021 Chilean presidential election moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Opinion polling for the 2021 Chilean presidential election, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

Lead image at Gabriel Boric
Hi there. Just a quick note that I reverted your recent edit to this article since you seem to have made it under the false assumption that Wikipedia should give preference to "official" images. However, per our guideline at MOS:LEADIMAGE, the image should be "what our readers will expect to see". Since most images from during and after the election show him wearing glasses, an image with glasses fits this requirement best. If you disagree, please voice your reasons on Talk:Gabriel Boric, keeping in mind that official campaign material has no preferential status on Wikipedia.

Untitled
I found this Daily Telegraph article from 2003 very interesting, but I am a bit puzzled by the date of retrieval which is shown:

^ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2003/04/16/btjean.xml www.telegraph.co.uk retrieved 11 April 2008

because todays's date is 9th April 2008 and 11th April 2008 is thus two days into the future! can anyone explain this?

I have several black-and-white photographs of Jean in her old age, which I took when she visited my family home, and will make these available once I have located them, and scanned them digitally

g88keeper (talk) 11:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The ref mistake was another editor's simple typo from the 5th. I've fixed it.  Next time, just look in the edit history. :) María ( habla  con migo ) 12:05, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Looking forward to seeing your photographs of Rhys, G88keeper. Feel free to remove the image of the Wide Sargasso Sea cover I recently added if you feel it doesn't add anything to the article. --SydSid (talk) 00:44, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Actually, the book cover image should probably be replaced with a free image; the fair use rationale does not list this article, but the novel's article, for its purpose. María ( habla con migo ) 00:56, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Cheers! --SydSid (talk) 01:29, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

recent anonymous edit
A recent anonymous edit has removed much of the section devoted to her literary style, and while this might be justifiable because it is a subjective appraisal of her work, I feel bound to say that I fell it diminishes the article; but I do not feel qualified to re-instate the missing material, mainly because I did not write it in the first place g88keeper (talk) 21:11, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

 * The section in question had been tagged as original research for nearly a year, and truthfully should have been removed much earlier. Really, the entire article is poor, and needs much in research and reliable citations.  Were the anonymous IP to remove properly cited and therefore verifiable information, than you should of course feel no qualms with reverting their edit, because it may be considered vandalism.  IMHO, this particular edit seemed justifiable.  María ( habla  con migo ) 01:04, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

another recent anonymous edit
I notice information regarding Rhys's children has been deleted. Is there a reason? At least one of her stories relates to the death of a baby, so is it not relevant to say she experienced such a loss herself? RLamb (talk) 08:47, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Posed nude
I was intrigued by the suggestion in the article that she posed nude for an artist, possibly William Orpen, in 1913. Can anyone give me an origin/source/substantiation for this story? I would like to cross-refer it to the accounts of Orpen's life at that time. Thanks! 86.172.100.47 (talk) 12:21, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Jungle Cubs

Disney's Jungle Cubs is an American animated series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation for ABC in 1996, serving as the prequel to the 1967 film The Jungle Book as it's set in the youth of the animal characters years before the events of the film. The show was a hit, running for two seasons on ABC from 1996 to 1998 before its syndication in re-runs on the Disney Channel. The show was broadcast on Toon Disney, but was taken off the schedule in 2001. Re-runs aired on Disney Junior in the US from 2012 to 2013. The show also aired in the United Kingdom on Disney Cinemagic and in Latin America.

The show's theme song is a hip hop version of the song, "The Bare Necessities" performed by Lou Rawls. Jungle Cubs was animated by Walt Disney Television Animation (Australia) Pty. Ltd., Wang Film Productions Co., Ltd., Thai Wang Film Productions Co., Ltd., Toon City Animation, Inc., and Sunmin Image Pictures Co., Ltd., with Studio B Productions, as the animation pre-production studio of the series.

Characters

 * Baloo (voiced by Pamela Adlon) is a fun-loving sloth bear. He likes to play with his friends and sometimes pulls pranks on Bagheera in order to snap the latter out of his uptight attitude.
 * Bagheera (voiced by Elizabeth Daily in Season 1 and Dee Bradley Baker in Season 2) is a sensible and level-headed panther who stays out of trouble. He has an obsession with maintaining good personal hygiene. Bagheera is affectionately known as "Baggy" or "Bags" and is the youngest of the group. Despite having a Home Counties English accent in the original film, Bagheera speaks with an American accent in the series.
 * Louie (voiced by Jason Marsden in Season 1 and Cree Summer in Season 2) is an orangutan. He is very physically active, spending a great deal of his time in the trees and eating bananas, and wants to become king of the jungle one day, and when any man made objects turn up he immediately shows great interest.
 * Shere Khan (voiced by Jason Marsden) is an arrogant and hot-tempered Bengal tiger. He often tries to intimidate the other animals, but his confidence suffers when faced with actual problems. He is often called "Khannie" by Baloo and Louie. Despite having a well-spoken English accent in the original film, Shere Khan speaks with an American accent in the series.
 * Kaa (voiced by Jim Cummings) is a young Indian python who wants to hypnotize other animals, but his skills at hypnosis are unpredictable.
 * Hathi (voiced by Rob Paulsen in Season 1 and Stephen Furst in Season 2) is an elephant who attempts to keep the group in order but is known to stammer when stressed. He has a huge crush on Winifred, who is his wife in The Jungle Book. He is often called "Little Peanut" by Baloo. Despite having a strong southern English accent in the original film, Hathi speaks with an American accent in the series.
 * Cecil (voiced by Michael McKean) and Arthur (voiced by David Lander) are two vultures who are constantly hoping for one of the cubs to die so that they can eat them, but they are never seen as a threat.
 * Mahra (voiced by Tress MacNeille) is a ruthless baboon that lives in Pinnacle Rock within the wasteland. She and her three incompetent sons have often antagonized the Jungle Cubs when they enter the wasteland. One particular instance is when she and her sons return from a long journey and she wants a new animal skin blanket after her old one is destroyed.
 * Ned (voiced by Charlie Adler) is one of Mahra's sons.
 * Jed (voiced by Jim Cummings) is the leader of Mahra's sons.
 * Fred (voiced by Jim Cummings) is the largest and most dull-witted of Mahra's sons.

Locations

 * The Cub House, a small temple that the gang and friends use as a club house.
 * The Wasteland, a huge area surrounding the jungle. Not many animals live out here, except for birds of prey, insects, porcupines and baboons, such as Mahra and her three sons, who live there. It is also where an evil dictator turtle lives.
 * Pinnacle Rock, a tall pinnacle-shaped rock in The Wasteland. This large rock is the lair of Mahra and her sons.
 * The River, a large river that is where a lot of animals drink at and live at. Arthur & Cecil's nest and cliff are near here.
 * The Man Village, a large village inhabited by humans.
 * Wangjanga Gorge or The Honey Cliffs, an enormous gorge with a stream running through it. It is also called "The Honey Cliffs" because a lot of bees nest on the gorge's cliffs. It appears to have a bad reputation, since it is mentioned by Louie that no one had been down here and lived to tell the tale, but during the red dog invasion, Baloo and Kaa managed to survive when they were chased by the resident bees.
 * The Middle Jungle, a deeply hidden area with only one entrance, the throne in The Cub House. Once the snake-like lever has been pulled, the throne moves to reveal a hidden doorway going underground. Once one has travelled down the underground river, they emerge from a large crack in the ground which is in The Middle Jungle. There are the ruins of an old city up ahead and that is where the treasure is hidden, but it is being guarded by a giant white cobra named Whitehood.
 * The Quicksand Bog is mentioned in Fool Me Once....
 * Creepy Deepy Swamp, a dark and scary looking swamp near the heart of the jungle. A sarus crane lives here.

Thymovar

THYMOVAR is a product to control the Varroa mite (Varroa destructor) on bees (Apis mellifera) and contains the essential oil thymol.

THYMOVAR contains thymol, a volatile substance which sublimates in the air depending on temperature. On release, thymol vapour concentrations build up in the treated beehive. These vapours are highly toxic to varroa mites but concentrations are not high enough to harm the honey bees. For optimal control, appropriate concentrations of thymol vapour must be maintained for six to eight weeks.

Temperature
Best efficacy is achieved when maximum daytime temperatures are between 20 °C and 25 °C throughout treatment. Reduced product efficacy occurs if average temperatures fall below 15 °C during the treatment. Do not apply if outside temperatures exceed 30 °C. Treatment at temperatures in excess of 30 °C leads to increased stress and mortality of adult bees and brood.

Time of treatment
The best time for THYMOVAR treatment is as soon as possible after the last honey harvest in late summer at recommended temperatures. Treat all hives in an apiary at the same time to avoid robbing behaviour.

Application
Prior to THYMOVAR treatment, remove all honey supers, close or replace open or screened hive floors with solid floors, and reduce the hive entrances to normal size. It is recommended that part of the feeding is carried out before the treatment, if the infestation of varroa and the temperatures allow.

Begin the 1st application of a treatment by placing appropriate number of bee-hive strips (positions shown in Fig. 1) on top of combs of the brood chamber (upper brood chamber if two). Bee-hive strips should be close to, but not directly over open or sealed brood (preferable distance > 4 cm). Close the hive, leaving space (about 5 mm) between the bee-hive strips and the hive cover to improve the evaporation of thymol. Do not place plastic cover foils directly on the bee-hive strips. Remove the 1st set of depleted THYMOVAR wafers after 3–4 weeks.

Begin the 2nd application immediately with a new set of bee-hive strips in appropriate numbers and positions, as shown in Fig. 1. Remove these bee-hive strips when they are depleted at the end of the 2nd 3-4 week application period.

Concept of Control
A combined application of THYMOVAR with an oxalic acid treatment in the broodless time (November - December) has proved very efficient against the Varroa. Through volatilisation, thymol vapour concentrations build up in the hive. These are highly toxic to the varroa mites, but do not harm the bees. Detailed information can be found at Andermatt BioVet AG.

WMHT (TV)

WMHT (channel 17) is a television station licensed to Schenectady, New York, United States, serving the Capital District as a member of PBS. It is owned by WMHT Educational Telecommunications alongside NPR member WMHT-FM (89.1). The two stations share studios in the Rensselaer Technology Park in North Greenbush (with a Troy mailing address); the TV station's transmitter is located in the Helderberg Escarpment in New Scotland.

WMHT operates digital translator W23ER-D (channel 23) in Poughkeepsie (part of the New York City market). The translator's ownership was transferred from Dutchess Community College to WMHT in 2014.

History
The Mohawk-Hudson Council on Educational Television was formed in 1953, through financial support from commercial station WRGB (channel 6), its then-parent company General Electric (which was based in Schenectady) and many supporters and local businesses in the Albany/Capital Region. In the beginning, Mohawk-Hudson produced educational programs on WRGB; however, due to the station's tight scheduling, the council decided to form a non-commercial educational television station of its own. WMHT signed on the air on March 26, 1962, on UHF channel 17 as the second educational TV station in the state of New York (after WNED in Buffalo). From the outset the station was a member of National Educational Television (NET) and became one of PBS' charter members after the two stations merged in 1970. In 1972, WMHT expanded into FM radio by launching the first non-commercial classical music station in the United States (a format that continues to this day).

In 1987, WMHT purchased the assets of independent station WUSV (channel 45) and made it a secondary programming service under the calls WMHX. Due to financial difficulties, WMHT shut WMHX down in 1991 and returned it to the air three years later under the call letters WMHQ. In the late 1990s, WMHQ's commercial license became attractive and WMHT sold it to the Tribune Company for $18.5 million in 1999 with the station becoming WB affiliate WEWB that September (it is now CW affiliate WCWN, owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group). The money from this sale allowed WMHT to expand into digital television. It also allowed the station to replace its original facility in Rotterdam with a state-of-the-art facility in the Rensselaer Tech Park in town of North Greenbush, New York.

Programming
Programming produced by WMHT includes the state public affairs show New York NOW. The program is also aired on all public Television and radio stations across the state of New York in addition to being aired online and in a podcast format.

Subchannels
The station's signal is multiplexed:

Analog-to-digital conversion
WMHT shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 17 at noon on April 16, 2009. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 34, using virtual channel 17. During the 2019 digital television repack, WMHT relocated from UHF channel 34 to channel 25.

Kalsoy

Kalsoy (, Kalsø) is an island in the north-east of the Faroe Islands of Denmark between Eysturoy and Kunoy. The name means man island; by contrast with the parallel island to the east, Kunoy, the name of which means woman island.

The northernmost part and scenery of Kalsoy was used as stand-in for the Kuril Islands in eastern Russia while filming for the 25th James Bond movie No Time to Die. In the film, which was released in 2021, the villain's lair is located on the island, for which a harbour and missile silos were added digitally.

Kalsoy, like Svínoy, is a comparatively isolated island, in that no bridge, tunnel, or causeway links to it.

Geography
The western coast has steep cliffs for the full length of the island, whereas valleys on the eastern slopes protect the four tiny settlements, Húsar, Mikladalur, Syðradalur, and Trøllanes, whose combined populations total less than 80. They are connected by a partly surfaced road which passes through four dark tunnels. The island's thin shape and road tunnels give it the nickname "the recorder" (blokkfloytan). A lighthouse is located at Kallur, the northern tip of Kalsoy.

Important bird area
The northern and western coastline of the island has been identified as an important bird area by BirdLife International because of its significance as a breeding site for seabirds, especially Atlantic puffins (40,000 pairs), European storm petrels (5000 pairs), and black guillemots (200 pairs).

Mountains
The island has 13 peaks, the two highest of which are Nestindar (787 m) and Botnstindur (743 m).

Travel
Ferry landings occur at Syðradalur, and one of the mail boats (named Sam) makes regular trips from Klaksvík to both settlements. One can walk north all the way to the lighthouse at Kallur but the four unlit tunnels on the way make carrying a torch advisable. Traffic is insufficient to pose problems with exhaust gases. The northernmost tunnel through to Trøllanes is narrow, cold, damp, and over 2 km long. It is rarely used by vehicles since the population of Trøllanes is only 20. The alternative overland route from Mikladalur to Trøllanes is a dangerous and precipitous path that is best avoided.

Bus service between Húsar and Trøllanes also is provided.

Legends
Kalsoy has many legends, the best known of which is the legend of the Selkie or Seal-Woman of Mikladalur.

A young farmer from the town of Mikladalur on Kalsoy Island went to the beach to watch the selkies dance. He hid the skin of a beautiful selkie maid, so she could not go back to sea, and forced her to marry him. He kept her skin in a chest and the key with him both day and night. One day when out fishing, he discovered that he had forgotten to bring his key. When he returned home, the selkie wife had escaped back to sea, leaving their children behind. Later, when the farmer was out on a hunt, he killed both her selkie husband and two selkie sons, and she promised to take revenge upon the men of Mikladalur. Some shall be drowned, some shall fall from cliffs and slopes, and this shall continue, until so many men have been lost that they will be able to link arms around the whole island of Kalsoy; occasional deaths still occur in this way on the island.

This revenge has always been taken seriously, not only in Kalsoy, but also in the Faroe Islands generally. The descendants of the Seal-Woman are still known in the country by certain characteristics, especially their short fingers.

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare (alternatively and internally known as Alone in the Dark 4) is a survival horror video game and the fourth installment and first reboot of the video game series Alone in the Dark, developed by Darkworks and published by Infogrames Entertainment, SA. The game was released in 2001 on several platforms including Windows, PlayStation, Dreamcast, and Game Boy Color. A PlayStation 2 version of the game was also released several months after and only in Europe.

Plot
Set on October 31, 2001. Edward Carnby's best friend and partner, Charles Fiske, has been found dead off the coast of Shadow Island, a mysterious island near the coast of Massachusetts. Carnby's investigation quickly leads him to Frederick Johnson, who informs him of Fiske's search for three ancient tablets with the ability to unlock an incredible and dangerous power. Johnson pleads with Carnby to take the place of Fiske and reopen the investigation in order to recover the tablets. Carnby accepts and makes it his mission to find Fiske's killer. Johnson introduces Edward to Aline Cedrac, an intelligent, young university professor. She joins Edward to recover the missing tablets and assist Professor Obed Morton, whom she believes to be her father. While flying over the coast of Shadow Island, Edward and Aline's plane comes under attack by an unknown creature. Edward and Aline both jump out of the plane and parachute to the ground, but are separated immediately. Edward lands in the dense forest just outside a manor, while Aline lands on the roof of it. The game's plot is a separate canon from the main of the series.

Gameplay
The player is given the option of choosing which of the two protagonists they play as. Carnby's side of the plot is based mainly on fighting the monsters by physical means, particularly with his trusty double barreled revolver, while Aline's is more centered on puzzles. The two occasionally meet up, and the main areas of plot intersect.

The player soon comes under attack from Creatures of Darkness that appear out of nowhere and seem to be living shadows. These Creatures of Darkness are eventually revealed to be reptilian, silicon-based life forms from the center of the Earth, an enormous world of dark caverns known as the World of Darkness. Shadow Island apparently contains one of the many portals to this underground world. True to their name, the game's enemies are averse to light (which apparently turns them into ash), and this figures heavily in gameplay. Players can use their flashlight to repel certain creatures, and killing them is accomplished with such light-producing ammunition as magnesium bullets and phosphorus shells.

Light plays a significant role in this game. One of the game's main features is the flashlight that can be used to light up the game's darkened scenes, revealing hidden details and uncovering items. To this end, the developers crafted an unusual graphics engine which allowed the 3D player character's flashlight to properly illuminate and cast shadows on the 2D, pre-rendered backdrops. This was accomplished by rendering the backdrops at various levels of illumination and including information on the distribution of objects in the scene. The graphics engine could then properly use brighter versions of the backdrop where the flashlight was expected to be casting light, and leave shadowed areas dark.

Development and release
For the first time in the series, the game was based on console development and released as a multiplatform title. Darkworks handled the development of the PlayStation and Dreamcast versions, the latter being released one month after the former and featuring major graphic improvements. Spiral House ported the Dreamcast version to Windows. It was released at the same time of the Dreamcast version, but suffers from sound conversion issues which turn the overall soundtrack into noticeably worse quality renditions. Spiral House also ported the Dreamcast version to the PlayStation 2 and released it several months after, with the addition of lip synchronization for the polygon models during cutscenes.

A Game Boy Color version of the game was separately developed by Pocket Studios which was a relatively faithful version of the home console game. Its format necessitated the loss of the full motion video cut scenes from the other versions, and many gameplay areas had to be reduced in size while some were eliminated entirely.

The game was released in North America by Infogrames, except for the PlayStation 2 version, which was only released in Europe. In Japan, the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 versions were planned to be released by Capcom, but these releases were cancelled. The game was eventually released in Japan for Windows in 2002 by CyberFront, featuring English voices and Japanese subtitles unlike the Japanese versions of the previous Alone in the Dark games, which were fully dubbed to Japanese.

A prequel comic, Alone in the Dark: Life Is a Hideous Thing, was published in France by Semic Comics in 2001 and was released in English in September 2002.

The PlayStation version was released in May 2012 as a PSone classic on the PlayStation Network. As of September 1, it is also compatible with the PlayStation Vita, but is not compatible with PSP due to porting issues. As of April 2024, the game was made available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 as part of the Premium tier for PlayStation Plus.

As of October 2013, the Windows version was released on Steam. The Game Boy Color version was later released on the Nintendo Switch Online service as one of the debuting games for the Game Boy section on February 8, 2023.

Reception
Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare was well received. The PlayStation and Dreamcast versions received "generally favorable reviews", while the PC version received "average" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. GamesMaster gave the Game Boy Color version 90%, and The Sunday Times gave it the award of Game of the Week. According to Darkworks, The New Nightmare sold almost 1.4 million units by 2005.

AllGame gave the GBC version three stars out of five, saying, "Despite the frightening battle system and confusing play, the game is ultimately redeeming. It is definitely worth seeing; the eerie graphics can really pull a player into its spooky environment. But customers should think carefully before purchasing it, and not jump into things as fast as Edward Carnby did. Those who are patient and dedicated will probably find Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare very rewarding, while everyone else might consider this game a bit too difficult and trying." The website also gave the PlayStation version three stars out of five, saying, "This game should have been in development longer and more polished (there are numerous graphical glitches and clipping that occurs). A good game, but it could've been great. As with all survival horror games, play this game in the dark, and only at night. It's vital that you do, and it accents the game." Edge gave the same console version seven out of ten. X-Play gave the Dreamcast version three stars out of five and said that it " isn't really bad. However, it also isn't really new. It's just a shambling clone in step with the rest of the survival horror games. Perhaps its creators would have been better off evoking an old nightmare instead." Carla Harker of Next Generation said of the PC version in its October 2001 issue, "Despite its faults, very few PC games provide these kinds of Lovecraftian thrills and chills. The New Nightmare suffices." Jeff Lundrigan of the same magazine later said of the Dreamcast version in its final issue, "If you haven't tried any other version, Dreamcast is definitely the way to go with this one."

Computer Games Magazine nominated The New Nightmare as the best adventure game of 2001, but ultimately gave the award to Myst III: Exile.

Film
In 2005, a film adaptation was released called Alone in the Dark loosely based on the fourth installment. It was directed by Uwe Boll and was a box office flop costing $20,000,000, which was not recovered, and poorly received by critics, although it made a profit on the DVD market. Guinness World Records named the film the "Lowest-Grossing Game Based Movie" in the Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2008 edition. An Unrated Director's Cut was released in Germany, France and Australia and was #1 on the German DVD market for three weeks.

Formamide

Formamide is an amide derived from formic acid. It is a colorless liquid which is miscible with water and has an ammonia-like odor. It is chemical feedstock for the manufacture of sulfa drugs and other pharmaceuticals, herbicides and pesticides, and in the manufacture of hydrocyanic acid. It has been used as a softener for paper and fiber. It is a solvent for many ionic compounds. It has also been used as a solvent for resins and plasticizers. Some astrobiologists suggest that it may be an alternative to water as the main solvent in other forms of life.

Formamides are compounds of the type RR′NCHO. One important formamide is dimethylformamide, (CH3)2NCHO.

Historical production
In the past, formamide was produced by treating formic acid with ammonia, which produces ammonium formate, which in turn yields formamide upon heating:
 * HCOOH + NH3 →
 * → HCONH2 + H2O

Formamide is also generated by aminolysis of ethyl formate:
 * HCOOCH2CH3 + NH3 → HCONH2 + CH3CH2OH

Modern production
The current industrial process for the manufacture of formamide involves the carbonylation of ammonia:
 * CO +  NH3   →   HCONH2

An alternative two-stage process involves the ammonolysis of methyl formate, which is formed from carbon monoxide and methanol:
 * CO + CH3OH → HCOOCH3
 * HCO2CH3 +  NH3   →   HCONH2  +  CH3OH

Applications
Formamide is used in the industrial production of hydrogen cyanide. It is also used as a solvent for processing various polymers such as polyacrylonitrile.

Reactions
Formamide decomposes into carbon monoxide and ammonia at 180 °C.
 * HCONH2 → CO + NH3

Traces of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and water are also observed.

In the presence of solid acid catalysts, formamide dehydrates to HCN:
 * HC(O)NH2 → HCN + H2O

Niche or laboratory applications
Formamide is a constituent of cryoprotectant vitrification mixtures used for cryopreservation of tissues and organs.

Formamide is also used as an RNA stabiliser in gel electrophoresis by deionizing RNA. In capillary electrophoresis, it is used for stabilizing (single) strands of denatured DNA.

Another use is to add it in sol-gel solutions in order to avoid cracking during sintering.

Formamide, in its pure state, has been used as an alternative solvent for the electrostatic self-assembly of polymer nanofilms.

Formamide is used to prepare primary amines directly from ketones via their N-formyl derivatives, using the Leuckart reaction.

Biochemistry
Formamides are intermediates in the methanogenesis cycle.

Prebiotic chemistry
Formamide has been proposed as an alternative solvent to water, perhaps with the ability to support life with alternative biochemistries to that currently found on Earth. It forms by the hydrolysis of hydrogen cyanide. With a large dipole moment, its solvation properties are similar to those of water.

Formamide has been shown to convert to traces of guanine upon heating in the presence of ultraviolet light.

Several prebiotic chemical reactions producing amino acid derivatives have been shown to take place in formamide.

Safety
Contact with skin and eyes is not recommended. With an LD50 of grams per kg, formamide is of low acute toxicity. It also has low mutagenicity.

Formamide is classified as toxic to reproductive health.

Charles Haley

Charles Lewis Haley (born January 6, 1964) is an American former football defensive end and linebacker who played in the National Football League (NFL) for the San Francisco 49ers (1986–1991, 1998–1999) and Dallas Cowboys (1992–1996).

A versatile defensive player, Haley began his career as a specialty outside linebacker, then played as a defensive end because of a defensive scheme change from the 3–4 to the 4–3 defense. He was the first five-time Super Bowl champion; only Tom Brady, with seven titles, has won more. He won two Super Bowls with the 49ers (XXIII, XXIV) and three with the Cowboys (XXVII, XXVIII, XXX); starting in all five championship games. Haley was inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2011 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2015.

Early life
Haley was born in Gladys, Virginia. He attended William Campbell High School in Naruna, Virginia, where he was a three-year starter for the football team, playing linebacker and tight end. As a senior, he received defensive player of the year honors, All-Region III and All-Group AA accolades, while helping the team win the Seminole District championship. He also played basketball and was an All-district selection.

College career
Haley was not highly recruited at the start of his senior season, so he accepted a scholarship from James Madison University, which at the time was the only Division I-A or I-AA school to make an offer. He was named a starter at defensive end / linebacker as a freshman, posting 85 tackles (second on the team), 5 sacks, 6 passes defensed, and 4 forced fumbles.

The next year, Haley was moved to inside linebacker, making 143 tackles (led the team) and 4 sacks. As a junior, he tallied 147 tackles (led the team), 3 sacks and 2 interceptions. In his final year he was switched to outside linebacker for the last four games, registering 131 tackles (second on the team), 5 quarterback sacks, 3 blocked kicks, and one interception.

Haley was a two-time Division I-AA All-American and finished his career with 506 tackles (school record), 17 sacks, and 3 interceptions. Haley is a member of the Xi Delta chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity at James Madison.

San Francisco 49ers (first stint)
Haley was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth round (96th overall) of the 1986 NFL draft, after dropping because he was initially timed at 4.8 seconds in the 40-yard dash, although he was later clocked by a 49ers scout at 4.55 seconds. He played outside linebacker in a 3–4 defense, finished second behind Leslie O'Neal for rookies with 12 sacks and was voted to the NFL All-Rookie team by Pro Football Weekly and the United Press International. The following year, he played again in a designated pass rusher role, coming into the game in likely passing situations, while making 25 tackles and 6.5 sacks.

In 1988, Haley was named the starter at left outside linebacker, registering 69 tackles, 11.5 sacks and would hold that spot through the 1991 season. The next year, he tallied 57 tackles and 10.5 sacks.

In 1990, Haley had 58 tackles and 9 passes defensed. He was third in the league with 16 sacks, voted the UPI NFC Defensive Player of the Year, and a consensus All-Pro.

In 1991, Haley's relationship with the organization began to deteriorate after safety Ronnie Lott was left unprotected—eligible to sign with any team under Plan B free agency. He still recorded 53 tackles, 6 passes defensed, 2 forced fumbles and 7 sacks, tying for the team lead with Larry Roberts. While with the 49ers from 1986 to 1991, he led the team in sacks every season, and played on the Super Bowl XXIII and Super Bowl XXIV championship teams.

On August 26, 1992, Haley's volatile temperament and clashes with head coach George Seifert prompted the team to trade him to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a 1993 second round selection (#56-Vincent Brisby) and a 1994 third round selection (#99-Alai Kalaniuvalu).

Dallas Cowboys
In 1992, Haley was moved to right defensive end in the Dallas Cowboys 4–3 defense, made 39 tackles, 6 sacks, and 42 quarterback pressures (led the team), and helped the team improve from 17th in total defense in 1991 to first. Haley received the UPI NFC Defensive Player of the Year Award and was a consensus All-Pro once again. He is often mentioned as the final piece that helped propel the Cowboys into a Super Bowl contender.

In 1993, Haley made headlines after smashing his helmet through a concrete wall in the locker room following a home loss to the Buffalo Bills, showing his displeasure with the team's inability to sign holdout running back Emmitt Smith, which contributed to an 0–2 start and put the season in jeopardy. The Cowboys relented and reached an agreement with Smith the following week, getting them back on track and making them the first team to win a Super Bowl after starting a season 0–2. Haley registered 41 tackles, 4 sacks, 2 passes defensed, and 3 forced fumbles, but his recurring back problems began to require a series of surgeries.

In 1994, Haley recovered from off-season surgery (lumbar microdiscectomy) to post 68 tackles, 12.5 sacks, and 52 quarterback pressures. He immediately announced his retirement after losing 38–28 to the 49ers in the NFC Championship game, but decided to return after being offered a new contract.

In 1995, Haley posted 10.5 sacks, 33 quarterback pressures, and 35 tackles in the first 10 games, until suffering a ruptured disk against the Washington Redskins, which derailed his season. He started in Super Bowl XXX six weeks after having back surgery, making one sack, 3 quarterback pressures, and 5 tackles. The next year, with the team trying to limit him to 30 plays per game, he appeared in the first three contests and in week 9 and 10 before being deactivated with a back injury. He retired after the season, because of his back injuries and his youngest daughter Brianna being diagnosed with leukemia.

San Francisco 49ers (second stint)
On January 2, 1999, Haley was signed by the 49ers after being out of football for almost two years to provide depth for an injury depleted defensive line in the playoffs (2 games). He was re-signed for the 1999 season and tallied 3 sacks.

Career statistics
In his 12 NFL seasons, Haley recorded 100.5 quarterback sacks, two interceptions (nine return yards), and eight fumble recoveries, which he returned for nine yards and a touchdown. He was also selected to play in five Pro Bowls (1988, 1990, 1991, 1994, 1995) and was named NFL All-Pro in 1990 and 1994. In his first four seasons in Dallas, he was on three Super Bowl-winning teams: in 1992 (XXVII), 1993 (XXVIII), and 1995 (XXX). He was the first player with more than four Super Bowl Rings.

Honors
Haley was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2015 after several years of eligibility and his bust was sculpted by Scott Myers. Haley felt that his election may have been delayed by his image and behavior: "I thought that what you do on the field would govern whether you get in the Hall". On August 8, 2015, Haley was inducted at the Enshrinement Ceremony where his bust was unveiled. He was also inducted into the San Francisco 49ers Hall of Fame in 2015.

Prior to that, Haley was inducted into the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame in 2006, the College Football Hall of Fame in 2011, and the Texas Black Sports Hall of Fame in 2012. He was enshrined into the Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor on November 6, 2011.

Personal life
After football, Haley was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and began to undergo therapy and to take medication. Haley was an assistant defensive coach for the Detroit Lions from 2001 to 2002. He is a special advisor mentoring rookies for both the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers. He also has dedicated his life to help fund several local initiatives with organizations such as Jubilee Centre and The Salvation Army. He is the founder of Tackle Tomorrow which provides struggling schools in the Dallas area with reading programs and special teachers to help students improve their reading skills. Reading levels are often directly attributed to a child’s success in school and life. Tackle Tomorrow is an active foundation with support from the Dallas community and other Cowboys such as Dak Prescott, DeMarcus Lawrence, Tony Tolbert, Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, and many others.

His daughter Madison Haley is a professional soccer player who most recently played for Sydney FC in the Australian A-League Women.

Hi Brycen, do you have a reference for MNC 310-260 being used exclusively by Ting Inc.? (As opposed to the MNC being used by other T-Mobile MVNOs or T-Mobile itself) Thanks, Drahtlos (talk) 17:25, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

As a Ting user, I know Ting uses that code. I Googled the code and found only references to Ting. So definitely used by Ting, but uncertain if it's exclusive to Ting. Maybe make that distinction clear? Brycen (talk)
