Weekend America

Weekend America was a weekly public radio program dealing with news, popular culture, the arts and more. The program was produced for American Public Media and hosted by John Moe in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Weekend America launched Saturday, May 1, 2004, as a pilot aired by the show's developmental stations, then known as Public Radio Weekend. The show went national under the Weekend America branding Saturday, October 9, 2004.

Public radio veterans Bill Radke and Barbara Bogaev, based in Los Angeles, served as hosts during the pilot stage and early national phase. Bogaev left the program on December 9, 2006. Detroit native Desiree Cooper was selected to replace Bogaev, beginning in August 2007. Cooper's arrival signaled a shift in the program's production, with Radke's segments originating in L.A., and Cooper's from St. Paul, Minnesota.

As part of a consolidation move in the summer of 2008, American Public Media moved production on Weekend America from Los Angeles to St. Paul. The changes shook up the cast. Cooper was bumped to "Senior Correspondent" and returned to Detroit. Radke left the program altogether. Commentator and occasional substitute host John Moe was promoted to sole host, based in St. Paul.

The show was divided into two hours, which were further subdivided into five segments per hour. Weekend America was designed to be run untouched; with local cutaways at predetermined points; with long local segments in place of one of the five national segments; or as one or two national segments spliced into a locally produced show. Many public radio stations aired the show untouched.

Regular segments of the show included "Good News, Bad News, or No News", where three panelists evaluated the significance of a recent news item; "A Little Bit of Weather Everywhere", which featured unique events happening around the country and the weather for the day at these events; and "Weekend Soundtrack", where callers shared a favorite song that provides a backdrop to their weekends.

The theme music was "Crazyhorse Mongoose" by Galactic.

Cancellation
American Public Media announced on December 19, 2008 the cancellation of the show due to financial pressures. The last program aired January 31, 2009.

Principality of Regensburg

The Principality of Regensburg (Fürstentum Regensburg) was a principality of the Holy Roman Empire that was created in 1803. Its capital was Regensburg. Following the dissolution of the Empire in 1806, the principality became a member state of the Confederation of the Rhine until 1810.

History
The principality was initially created as an ecclesiastical electorate for Archbishop Karl Theodor von Dalberg, the Elector-Archchancellor of the Empire and the former Archbishop of Mainz, due to the annexation of Mainz itself by the French following the Treaty of Lunéville. Most of the new principality consisted of the territory of the former Prince-Bishopric of Regensburg. The principality also included the Lordships of Donaustauf, Wörth, and Hohenburg, the former free imperial city of Regensburg, St. Emmeram's Abbey, and the abbeys Obermünster and Niedermünster located within the city of Regensburg. Dalberg also acquired the newly-created Principality of Aschaffenburg along the Main river.

Dalberg received the electoral dignity previously accorded to the Electorate of Mainz; his new principality has thus been known in German as Kurfürstentum Regensburg ("Electorate of Regensburg"). Because the archiepiscopal status of Mainz had also been transferred to the Regensburg diocese, the principality has also been known in English as the Archbishopric of Regensburg.

Because of Bavarian claims on Regensburg, Dalberg was not installed as archbishop until 1 February 1805. The principality lost its status as an electorate in 1806 with the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire and became part of the Confederation of the Rhine later that year. The Napoleonic Code was introduced in 1809.

During the War of the Fifth Coalition, Austrian troops occupied Regensburg on 20 April 1809; it was shelled and stormed by French troops three days later. In the Treaty of Paris, Dalberg conceded Regensburg to the Kingdom of Bavaria, which formally incorporated the city on 22 May 1810. In return for conceding Regensburg, Dalberg was granted Hanau and Fulda, which he combined with the Principality of Aschaffenburg to create the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt. Although he had lost the Principality of Regensburg, Dalberg retained the title of Archbishop of Regensburg until his death in 1817, after which time the archbishopric was downgraded to a suffragan diocese of Munich and Freising.

Column inch

A column inch was the standard measurement of the amount of content in published works that use multiple columns per page. A column inch is a unit of space one column wide by 1 inch high.

A newspaper page
Newspaper pages are laid out on a grid that consists of a margin on 4 sides, a number of vertical columns and space in between columns, called gutters. Broadsheet newspaper pages in the United States usually have 6-9 columns, while tabloid sized publications have 5 columns.

Column width
In the United States, a common newspaper column measurement is about 11 picas wide —about 1.83 inch—though this measure varies from paper to paper and in other countries. The examples in this article follow this assumption for illustrative purposes only.

Column inches and advertising
Newspapers sell advertising space on a page to retail advertisers, advertising agencies and other media buyers. Newspapers publish a "per column inch" rate based on their circulation and demographic figures. Generally, the more readers the higher the column inch rate is. Newspapers with more affluent readers may be able to command an even higher column inch rate. For most newspapers, however, the published rate is just a starting point. Sales representatives generally negotiate lower rates for frequent advertisers.

Advertisements are measured using column inches. An advertisement that is 1 column inch square is 11 picas wide by 1 inch high. The column inch size for advertisements that spread over more than one column is determined by multiplying the number of inches high by number of columns. For example, an advertisement that is 3 columns wide by 6 inches high takes up 18 column inches (3 columns wide multiplied by 6 inches high).

To determine the cost of the advertisement, multiply the number of column inches by the newspaper's rate. So, if a newspaper charges $10 per column inch, the cost for the advertisement discussed above would be $180.00 (18 column inches multiplied by $10.00). Advertisements that span over more than one column also gain a small amount of extra space in between columns because they stretch across the gutters. Gutters are the empty space between columns. Gutters range from about 10 points to about 1 pica wide. In addition, most newspapers charge for an extra column if an advertisement is a double truck.

Terminology
In the newspaper industry, ad and newsroom staffers will refer to an advertisement's size by saying "it's a (column width) by (inch height) ad," replacing the words in parentheses with a single figure. This can be confusing because it refers to two distinct measurements as if they were measured with the same unit. Normally one would think a 3 by 6 advertisement would be 3 inches wide by 6 inches high — but in reality it's actually about 5.5 inches wide by 6 inches high. In writing, an "×" is usually used to separate the two figures. Whether written or spoken, most, if not all, newspaper professionals understand the first figure is the column width and the second figure is the inch height.

Nowadays, most newspapers and magazines have converted to a "modular" system that simplifies ad size and eliminates the need to figure out column inches. In a modular system ad sizes are represented by the amount of the total page the ad takes up. For example, 1/2 page, 1/4 page, 1/8 page, etc. This has been a popular system among many newspapers because it simplifies the layout process (i.e. less ad sizes to fit in newspaper) and makes pricing much easier for an advertiser to understand.

Use and number of words
Column inches are also used as an ad hoc estimate of the importance of a news story and are also used to tell how much copy a reporter should write or has written, and how much should be cut from a story to fit the available space. This harks back to the days of the late 19th century linotype machine and its relatively uniform newspaper column-widths, echoed in the phototypesetting and paste up days of the late 20th Century, when typeset newspaper stories were still printed on long strips of paper one-column wide, then pasted into page layouts. Even when pages were designed using various wider column widths, story lengths were still estimated "as if" set in the standard narrower columns. Correspondents, for example, might be paid "by the inch" for their stories, and some organizations explained their nickname Stringer (journalism) as originating when regular-width columns of set type were measured with lengths of string.

The software used in most present-day newsrooms still measures column inches to give reporters and editors an estimate on how much space a story will take up on a page. Reporters usually refer to story lengths in inches, which actually refers to how many column inches a story takes up. Although it varies, it is generally agreed upon that there are 25-35 words in a column inch.

Newsroom staffers also measure items such as photographs and infographics using column inches.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a class of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is a type of cancer of the immune system. Unlike most non-Hodgkin lymphomas (which are generally B-cell-related), CTCL is caused by a mutation of T cells. The cancerous T cells in the body initially migrate to the skin, causing various lesions to appear. These lesions change shape as the disease progresses, typically beginning as what appears to be a rash which can be very itchy and eventually forming plaques and tumors before spreading to other parts of the body.

Signs and symptoms
The presentation depends if it is mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome, the most common, though not the only types. Among the symptoms for the aforementioned types are: enlarged lymph nodes, an enlarged liver and spleen, and non-specific dermatitis.

Cause
The cause of CTCL remains largely unknown, but several external risk factors have been proposed as potential triggers and promoters of the disease. These include the use of hydrochlorothiazide diuretics, therapy-induced immunosuppression, and possible infections by a range of viral (e.g., HTLV-1, HTLV-2, HIV, Epstein-Barr virus, Cytomegalovirus, HHV-6, HHV-7, HHV-8 (KSHV), and Polyomaviruses such as Merkel cell polyomavirus) and bacterial or fungal pathogens (including Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium leprae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, and dermatophytes). The level of evidence varies among the different factors.

Diagnosis
A point-based algorithm for the diagnosis for early forms of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma was proposed by the International Society for Cutaneous Lymphomas in 2005.

Classification
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma may be divided into the several subtypes. Mycosis fungoides is the most common form of CTCL and is responsible for half of all cases. A WHO-EORTC classification has been developed. • : Pagetoid reticulosis

• : Sézary syndrome

• : Granulomatous slack skin

• : Lymphomatoid papulosis

• : Pityriasis lichenoides chronica

• : Pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta

• : CD30+ cutaneous T-cell lymphoma

• : Secondary cutaneous CD30+ large cell lymphoma

• : Non-mycosis fungoides CD30− cutaneous large T-cell lymphoma

• : Pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma

• : Lennert lymphoma

• : Subcutaneous T-cell lymphoma

• : Angiocentric lymphoma

• : Blastic NK-cell lymphoma

• : Primary cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma

Treatment
There is no cure for CTCL, but there are a variety of treatment options available and some CTCL patients are able to live normal lives with this cancer, although symptoms can be debilitating and painful, even in earlier stages. FDA approved treatments include the following: Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are shown to have antiproliferative and cytotoxic properties against CTCL. Other (off label) treatments include: • Topical and oral corticosteroids
 * (1999) Denileukin diftitox (Ontak)
 * (2000) Bexarotene (Targretin) a retinoid
 * (2006) Vorinostat (Zolinza) a hydroxymate histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor
 * (2009) Romidepsin (Istodax) a cyclic peptide histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor
 * (2018) Poteligeo (mogamulizumab-kpkc)

• Bexarotene (Targretin) gel and capsules

• Carmustine (BCNU, a nitrosourea)

• Mechlorethamine (nitrogen mustard)

• Phototherapy (broad and narrow band UVB or PUVA)

• Electron therapy

• Conventional radiation therapy

• Photopheresis

• Interferons

• Alemtuzumab (Campath-1H)

• Methotrexate

• Pentostatin and other purine analogues (Fludarabine, 2-deoxychloroadenosine)

• Liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil)

• Gemcitabine (Gemzar)

• Cyclophosphamide

• Bone marrow / stem cells

• Allogenic transplantation

• Forodesine (inhibits purine nucleoside phosphorylase) In 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted orphan drug designation for naloxone lotion as a treatment for pruritus in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma to a pharmaceutical company called Elorac.

Epidemiology
Of all cancers involving lymphocytes, 2% of cases are cutaneous T cell lymphomas. CTCL is more common in men and in African-American people. The incidence of CTCL in men is 1.6 times higher than in women.

There is some evidence of a relationship with human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) with the adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma subtype. No definitive link between any viral infection or environmental factor has been definitely shown with other CTCL subtypes.

Morto da Feltre

Morto da Feltre was an Italian painter of the Venetian school who worked at the close of the 15th century and beginning of the 16th.

Biography
His real name appears to have been Pietro Luzzo, Pietro Luci or Lorenzo Luzzo; he is also known by the name Zarato or Zarotto, either from the place of his death or because his father, a surgeon, was in Zara during the son's childhood: whether he was termed "Morto" (dead) from his joyless temperament is a disputed point.

Born in Feltre (province of Belluno), he may probably have studied painting first in Venice and surroundings, initially an assistant of Pinturicchio. It is claimed by Vasari that at an early age he went to Rome, and investigated the ancient, especially the subterranean remains, and thence to Pozzuoli, where he painted from the decorations of antique crypts or grotte. The style of fanciful arabesque which he formed for himself from these studies gained the name of "grottesche", whence comes the term grotesque; not, indeed, that Morto was the first painter of arabesque in the Italian Renaissance, for art of this kind had, been developed, both in painting and in sculpture, towards 1480, but he may have powerfully aided its diffusion southwards.

His works were received with much favor in Rome. He afterwards went to Florence, and painted some fine grotesques in the Palazzo Pubblico and trained Andrea di Cosimo. Returning to Venice towards 1505, he assisted Giorgione in painting the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, and seems to have remained with him till 1510. It may have been in 1515 that Morto returned to his native Feltre, then in a very ruinous condition from the ravages of war in 1509. There he executed various works, including some frescoes, still partly extant, and considered to be almost worthy of the hand of Raphael, in the loggia beside the church of Santo Stefano. He may have met Giovanni da Udine.

Towards the age of forty-five, Morto, unquiet and dissatisfied, abandoned painting and took to soldiering in the service of the Venetian republic. He was made captain of a troop of two hundred men; and fighting valorously, he is said to have died at Zara in Dalmatia, in 1519. This story, and especially the date of it, are questionable: there is some reason to think that Morto was painting as late as 1522. One of his pictures is in the Berlin museum, an allegorical subject of Peace and War. Andrea Feltrini was his pupil and assistant as a decorative painter.

He is cited in Giorgio Vasari's Vite or biographies of the artists.

Intel 8061

The Intel 8061 microcontroller is most notable for its use in the Ford EEC-IV automotive engine control unit. A close relative of the 8096, the Intel 8061 is second-sourced by Toshiba (under the model number 6127 and 6126) and Motorola (now Freescale Semiconductor).

Introduction
The MCS-96 family originated as a commercial derivative of the Intel 8061, the first processor in the Ford EEC-IV engine controller family. Differences between the 8061 and the 8096 include the memory interface bus, the 8061's M-Bus being a 'burst-mode' bus requiring a tracking program counter in the memory devices. There were also considerable differences in the I/O peripherals of the two parts - the 8061 had 8 HSI (pulse-measurement) inputs, 10 HSO (pulse-generation) outputs entirely separated from the HSI pins, and a non-sampling 10-bit ADC with more channels than the 8096 had. Many differences between the EEC-IV and the 8096 resulted from an effort to share pins to reduce I/O pin count in favor of using the pins for a more conventional memory interface bus.

The 8061 and its derivatives were used in almost all Ford automobiles built from 1983 through the end of the 20th century. This processor controlled fuel mixture and injection timing, spark advance (often in conjunction with a separate spark module), exhaust gas recirculation, and other engine functions.

M-Bus
The 8061 had an interruptible-burst-mode 11-wire 8-bit memory interface bus called the M-Bus. This bus required a program counter and a data address register in each memory device. Each chip reset or branch instruction would update the program counter in the memory devices, after which instruction stream data would be read sequentially. The instruction stream could be interrupted to read or write data bytes and words using the memory's data address register while retaining the memory's program counter copy—allowing resumption of reading the instruction stream without having to re-send a program address after each data access.

Address map
The 8061 had a 240-byte internal register file, from address 0010H to 00FFH. I/O addresses were from 0002H to 000FH. Throughout the 8061 family, address 0000H was reserved for a constant zero register. This permitted use of relative addressing to access absolute addresses. The stack pointer was at 00010H. 8061 could address 64K of memory. Reset was to 2000H. Interrupt vectors were at 2010H.

Process, package
The 8061 was built in a 3-micrometre N-MOS silicon-gate process. Plastic 68-pin flatpacks, ceramic packages, and 40-pin DIP packages were used, depending on the I/O pin-count requirements of a particular module design.

Derivatives
Ford created the Ford Microelectronics facility in Colorado Springs in 1982 to propagate the EEC-IV family, develop other custom circuits for use in automobiles, and to explore the Gallium Arsenide integrated circuit market. Parts in that family included the 8063, which never reached production. The family also included the 8065, produced in high volumes, which incorporated a memory controller allowing it to address a 1-megabyte memory, considerably greater than the 64K of the 8061 and 8096.

The 8063, 8065 and later EPIC were CMOS derivatives capable of reduced power consumption.

The 8065 had an enhanced instruction set, additional register space, and a much-enhanced I/O. As a result, the 8065 had a register file from address 0020H to 03FFH, addressable in 4 banks. I/O addresses were from 0002H to 001FH. The stack pointer was at 00020H.

HSI
The 8061 had an 8-channel event-capture system for measuring and timing pulsed inputs. A 16-bit timer value was captured in a FIFO along with the new state of all 8 pins whenever a transition was detected on an enabled pin. The FIFO was implemented in a small dynamic RAM.

The HSI was used, for example, for recording times of crankshaft-position-sensor events, which were used for determining engine speed.

HSO
The 8061 had a 10-channel pulse-generator output system for generating timed outputs. This essentially had a small content-addressable memory (CAM) that compared event times with the same 16-bit timer used for the HSI system. Each event time was written to CAM along with a command. When a match of a CAM location with the timer was found, the event was executed and the CAM location returned to an empty pool. The CAM was simulated with dynamic RAM and a comparator. The HSO was used for a variety of purposes including fuel injection pulse timing.

ADC
The 8061 and its derivatives had a multichannel analog-to-digital converter on the processor chip. This was used for such purposes as sensing engine temperature and throttle angle, and for reading the exhaust-gas oxygen sensor.

Interrupts
The 8061 had an 8-channel vectored priority interrupt system. The later 8065 provided 40 channels, of which 32 were tied into the HSI/HSO event system.

Serial Port
Various members of the 8061 family had a custom serial port on-chip. This was intended as a port expander and not as a general-purpose UART

Companion Memory
The 8061 was used with a family of other devices, including the 8361 – a companion memory having ROM and some RAM. In later modules, one-time-programmable (OTP) EPROM memory was substituted for the original mask-programmed memory – this greatly simplified logistics given the wide variety of ROM codes required in each model year.

Terence MacManus

Terence Bellew MacManus (born 1811 or 1823 – 15 January 1861) was an Irish rebel who participated in the Young Irelander Rebellion of 1848. Sentenced to death for treason, he and several other participants were given commuted sentences in 1849 and transported for life to Van Diemen's Land in Australia. Three years later in 1852, MacManus escaped and emigrated to the United States.

He lived in San Francisco, California until his death in 1861. There he was unable to re-establish his career. His body was returned to Dublin for burial, where the Fenians gave him a large funeral in honor of his part in the rebellion.

MacManus was notable for his statement in court in 1848; he explained his actions by saying: "...[I]t was not because I loved England less, but because I loved Ireland more."

Biography
Terence MacManus was born about 1811 (or 1823) in Tempo, County Fermanagh, Ireland. He was educated in parochial schools.

As a young man he moved to Liverpool, a major port, where he became a successful shipping agent. In 1848 he returned to Ireland, where he became active in the Repeal Association, which sought to overturn the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland. After joining the Irish Confederation, he was among those who took part with William Smith O'Brien and John Blake Dillon in the July 1848 Young Irelander Rebellion in Ballingarry, County Tipperary. MacManus and the other leaders were charged and convicted of treason, and sentenced to death for their actions.

Due to public support for clemency, the men's sentences were commuted to deportation for life. MacManus was transported to Van Diemen's Land in Tasmania, Australia in 1849 on the Swift, together with O'Brien, Thomas Francis Meagher and Patrick O'Donoghue. They were assigned to different settlements to reduce their collaboration in the new land. However, the Irish men continued to meet secretly.

In 1852 MacManus and Meagher escaped from Australia and made their way to San Francisco, California, where MacManus settled. (Meagher went on to New York City.) Like other immigrants, the Irish revolutionaries carried their issues to the United States. Ellis, captain of a ship that was supposed to carry O'Brien to freedom, also emigrated to San Francisco. MacManus held a lynch court of Ellis among Irish emigrants for his betrayal of O'Brien in his escape attempt from Van Diemen's Land. The court martial acquitted Ellis for lack of evidence.

Failing to re-establish his career as a shipping agent, MacManus died in poverty around the age of 50. His body was returned to Ireland, here he was buried in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin, on 10 November 1861. Fenians organized a huge funeral and nationalist demonstration to honor MacManus.

According to police reports his funeral procession numbered between 6000 and 7000 people, with 40,000 spectators at Abbey Street. Father Patrick Lavelle delivered an oration at his funeral.

Quotes
From the dock before sentencing, 24 October 1848: ... "I say, whatever part I may have taken in the struggle for my country's independence, whatever part I may have acted in my short career, I stand before you, my lords, with a free heart and a light conscience, to abide the issue of your sentence. And now, my lords, this is, perhaps, the fittest time to put a sentence upon record, which is this - that standing in this dock, and called to ascend the scaffold - it may be to-morrow - it may be now - it may be never - whatever the result may be, I wish to put this on record, that in the part I have taken I was not actuated by enmity towards Englishmen - for among them I have passed some of the happiest days of my life, and the most prosperous; and in no part which I have taken was I actuated by enmity towards Englishmen individually, whatever I may have felt of the injustice of English rule in this island; I therefore say, that it is not because I loved England less, but because I loved Ireland more, that I now stand before you".

Keni Liptzin

Keni Liptzin (1856 – September 28, 1918) (surname sometimes spelled Lipzin) was a star in the early years of Yiddish theater, probably the greatest female dramatic star of the first great era of Yiddish theater in New York City.

Born in Zhytomyr, in the Volhynian Governorate of the Russian Empire (in present-day Ukraine), Liptzin had no formal education. She ran away from an arranged marriage, running to Smila, where she was first discovered (originally for her singing voice) and put on stage by Israel Rosenberg in 1880. She originally used the stage name Keni Sonyes, but after marrying theatrical prompter Volodya Liptzin in London in the mid-1880s, she took his last name.

After Sonya Adler's death in London in 1886, she played dramatic roles opposite Jacob Adler and joined Adler when he came to America, playing with him in Chicago, before travelling to New York City in 1889, where she played first in the company of Moishe Finkel and David Kessler, then renting her own theater. She was most famous for playing the lead roles in two Jacob Gordin plays, Di shkhite and Mirele Efros, the former an attack on arranged marriage, the latter a story about an embittered matriarch who is finally reconciled again to her family. Abraham Cahan, an editor of the Jewish Daily Forward, said of her performance in Mirele Efros, "Liptzin's pride, her humor, her shrewdness, come not from Lithuania, but from Shakespeare," describing her as "...a Lear... a queen..."

In her own theater, she also put on works by Victor Hugo, Alphonse Daudet, Gerhart Hauptmann, and Leonid Andreyev.

Questionable source

 * Largely as a result of the hit song, which repeats "me so horny" 37 times, this phrase and "me love you long time" became stock phrases. They have been referenced or quoted in episodes of South Park and Family Guy, among others. Some consider use of these phrases to be stereotypical and offensive; these phrases came into vogue as a result of the hit song, however.

My guess is that the *film* popularized these phrases. Either way, I've removed it as unsourced. jdb ❋ (talk) 15:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Can someone grab a fair use sample of the original phrase from FMJ?
Thanks! For great justice. 22:15, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I removed the line "The Houston, TX area restaurant Sake Japanese Lounge used the ad "miso hungry" in their advertisements; possibly based on the song." because the term "miso hungry" is a blatant reference to a Japanese fermented bean paste, miso.

"me love you long time" in Fergie's London Bridge (Fergie song)
Doesn't the line "Me love you long time" also appear in the song London Bridge (Fergie song)? --Addict 2006 19:58, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I'll add it to the article now, along with another reference I found. Young Web Programmer  msg  05:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Album's Banning In Florida?
As currently published in the article: "The explicit nature of the lyrics of this song and the album led to the initially successful prosecution of the group on obscenity charges and the album being banned from sale in Florida."

I could be mistaken because it was years ago. But as I recall, 'As Nasty As They Wanna Be' was only banned in Broward county, not all of Florida. Back then, I remember regular conflict between Nick Navarro, then Broward county sheriff, and 'Uncle Luke' and the rest of the Crew over this album and their performances there. I certainly don't recall the album or their performances ever being 'banned' in Miami-Dade county. Darnold01 01:06, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Sampling Section
It seems the phrase "Me So Horny" taken from the title of the song has been sampled multiple times. Including the song " London Bridge" by Fergie and in the film "Another Gay Movie". Should we simply list this under Parodies or start a new section for places where it's been sampled including songs and films? Young Web Programmer msg  05:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia strongly discourages trivia sections (see WP:TRIV), although lists are sometimes ok (WP:LIST). I would add this info into the pre-existing section, but change the name from "parodies" to something like "References in popular culture." It would also be best to integrate this info into a coherent body rather than a list... Adding another section might make the article appear more trivia-heavy than it needs to be.

 * On another note, does anyone know what "The other part came from a Richard Pryor movie, Which Way Is Up?" means? This is confusing for me, what other part?    Johnny California 03:02, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Pleasures of the Harbor

Pleasures of the Harbor is Phil Ochs' fourth full-length album and his first for A&M Records, released in 1967. It is one of Ochs's most somber albums. In stark contrast to his three albums for Elektra Records which had all been folk music, Pleasures of the Harbor featured traces of classical, rock and roll, Dixieland jazz and experimental synthesized music crossing with folk, in hopes of producing a "folk-pop" crossover.

History
The best known track is "Outside of a Small Circle of Friends", a sarcastic jab at the apathetic nature of people in certain situations, at its base the story of the Murder of Kitty Genovese in New York City (which numerous people witnessed, doing nothing to help), set to a Dixieland backing. The mention of marijuana in one verse was misinterpreted, and its release as a single failed to do anything on the charts as it was banned from radio play by many stations.

"The Party" savaged high-class snobs, with Ochs taking the role of a lounge pianist, observing the ridiculous nature of their gatherings. "Flower Lady" was a six-minute narrative about contrasting characters in the city, with each anecdote having one thing in common; everyone ignores the poor woman trying to sell her flowers.

"Pleasures of the Harbor", the title track, is a dirge to lonely sailors seeking human comfort and connection while in port. Ochs composed it after watching a screening of John Ford's 1940 film The Long Voyage Home, which starred one of Ochs' movie idols, John Wayne. It features a lilting melodic line and what some consider to be an overblown film score-like orchestration (supposedly including a young Warren Zevon), a view which Ochs himself would later on come to share.

This recording of "The Crucifixion", which closed the album, was deemed a failed experiment by Ochs, as far as its avant-garde production experiment (by Joseph Byrd) is concerned. Lyrically and musically, however, many consider the song to be Ochs' masterpiece. Its ten verses compare John F. Kennedy and Christ, and explore the "cycle of sacrifice" where we build up our leaders into heroes so that we can enjoy tearing them down. The song is said to have brought Kennedy's brother Robert to tears when Ochs performed it for him a cappella in early 1968, months before the younger Kennedy's own assassination. All live versions of the song performed in concert featured Ochs alone, with just his guitar and voice, and one of those live performances is on the posthumously released compilations Chords of Fame and Farewells & Fantasies.

EMD SD50

The EMD SD50 is a 3500 hp diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division. It was introduced in May 1981 as part of EMD's "50 Series"; production ceased in January 1986. The SD50 was a transitional model between EMD's Dash 2 series which was produced throughout the 1970s and the microprocessor-equipped SD60 and SD70 locomotives. A total of 431 were built.

History
The SD50 was produced in response to increasingly tough competition from GE Transportation, whose Dash 7 line was proving quite successful with railroads. While EMD's SD40-2 was a reliable and trusted product, GE's line included locomotives up to 3600 hp with more modern technology, as well as very competitive finance and maintenance deals. EMD responded throughout the SD50 program by offering discounts on large orders.

The GM-EMD locomotives that immediately preceded the SD50, the 3600 hp SD45 and SD45-2, used huge, 20-cylinder engines that consumed large amounts of fuel and suffered from reliability problems when first introduced. Demand for the 45 series dropped sharply after the 1970s fuel crisis. The SD50 used an updated version of the V16 645 from the SD40-2, uprated to 3500 hp at 950 rpm from 3000 hp at 900 rpm, and uprated again in November 1984 to 3600 hp. This proved to be a step too far; the 50 series models were plagued by engine and electrical system problems which harmed EMD's sales and reputation.

Compared with their predecessors, the SD50 had a longer frame and a substantially longer long hood. In addition, the resistors for the dynamic brake grid were moved from their location on previous models above the prime mover to a new, cooler location in front of the engine compartment air intakes, closer to the electrical switchgear. This increased their separation from other systems, simplifying maintenance for the prime mover and the electrical system.

One former SD50 engineer praised the locomotives' wheel-slip control system and dynamic braking power, stating "they were able to give more adhesion than a SD40-2".

Technical
The SD50 is powered by V16 16-645F3 series diesel engine driving either an EMD AR11A-D14 or an EMD AR16A-D18 traction alternator. The power generated by the traction alternator drove 6 EMD D87 traction motors rated at 1170 amps each.

The SD50 was available with multiple traction motor gearing ratios and wheel sizes, the most common of which was the 70:17 ratio with 40 in wheels, which allowed for a top speed of 70 mph. Other gearing options for the SD50 with 40 in wheels included 69:18 for 76 mph, 67:19 for 82 mph and 66:20 for 88 mph. The SD50 was also available with 42 in wheels.

The SD50 was also available with either HT-C trucks (identified with a hydraulic shock on the side of the middle axle of each truck) or the earlier Flexicoil trucks. Some investigators implicated the HT-C truck in derailments of Amtrak's SDP40Fs, so Conrail chose the Flexicoil C trucks for their SD40-2s and their first order of SD50s—the only customer to do so. The controversy surrounding the HT-C truck was eventually disproved, and Conrail chose HT-C trucks for their second order of SD50s and SD60s.

SD50S
The SD50S ("short frame") were prototype units built in December 1980. They were shorter than production locomotives by approximately 2 ft. There were six SD50Ss built, all of which were sold to the Norfolk & Western and eventually passed to Norfolk Southern. They were withdrawn in the early 2000s as non-standard. Two were rebuilt in 2008 as "SD40E" models by Norfolk Southern's Juniata Shops, along with several standard length SD50s. The SD50S designation was also used for five locomotives built by EMD Australian licensee Clyde Engineering, Adelaide for Hamersley Iron. Shorter than production SD50s, they were equipped with a special double cab roof for insulation against the hot Australian desert sun in the Pilbara region. Withdrawn in November 1995, they were sold to National Railway Equipment Company and exported to the United States in February 1999 and used in national lease service. They were subsequently sold to the Utah Railway in June 2001. In June 2017, 6063 and 6064 were sold to the Chicago, Fort Wayne & Eastern Railroad, 6064 was relocated by Genesee & Wyoming to the Indiana & Ohio Railway and renumbered 5016 and 5017.

SD50F
The SD50F was a Canadian cowl unit version equipped with a "Draper taper" (inset section aft of cab for limited rear visibility). Sixty were built for the Canadian National Railway as road numbers 5400–5459. Early engine problems resulted in a temporary down-rating to 3300 hp. Eventually the units were re-rated to 3500 hp; however, like their U.S. cousins, they continued to suffer from relatively low reliability, frequently suffering engine, power assembly, and crankshaft failures.

Rebuilds
A number of SD50s have been rebuilt into the equivalent of SD40-2s. The Dash 2 features are already contained within the SD50. The units are derated from 3500 hp at 950 rpm to 3000 hp at 900 rpm. This is actually a quite simple change to the locomotive's Woodward PGE engine governor.

Preservation
• In late October 2022, the Illinois Railway Museum acquired former Chicago & North Western #7009, believed by the museum to be the first preserved SD50.

Cleveland Public Library

The Cleveland Public Library is a public library system in Cleveland, Ohio. Founded in 1869, it had a circulation of 3.5 million items in 2020. It operates the Main Library on Superior Avenue in downtown Cleveland, 27 branches throughout the city, a mobile library, a Public Administration Library in City Hall, and the Ohio Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled. The library replaced the State Library of Ohio as the location for the Ohio Center for the Book in 2003.

Founding
In 1811, the idea behind the Cleveland Public Library came "out of small beginnings" when sixteen of Cleveland's sixty-four residents subscribed to its first library, established to distribute the rare printed book. The members read books such as the history of Rome, Lives of the English Poets, Goldsmith's Greece, and Don Quixote. In 1867, the Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Dayton Boards of Education petitioned the Ohio General Assembly for authority to levy a tax for the maintenance of free public libraries, permitting boards of education with populations over 20,000 to levy a tax of one-tenth of a mill for each dollar evaluation of their taxable property. Cleveland Superintendent Anson Smyth, who has been called the "father of the Cleveland Public Library," supported this law in his Superintendent position, helping in the laws' development.

The new law provided for a Cleveland library that was part of the school system, controlled by the Cleveland Board of Education throughout the first decade of the library's existence, except for the years 1871–1873. The Cleveland Public Library opened on February 17, 1869, on the third floor of the Northup and Harrington Block on West Superior Avenue, The library room was adjacent to the Cleveland Board of Education, and opened with approximately 5,800 books.

Luther Melville Oviatt was the first librarian at Cleveland Public Library from 1869 to 1875. During his first year, patrons borrowed 65,000 books. Forwarding thinking in his views, Oviatt wanted to provide books that would interest both children and adults, the mechanic, businessman, and scholar. He had open shelves because, "without a catalog, the only way potential borrowers could ascertain what books were available was to look at them." Oviatt resigned in June, 1875, the victim of governing boards or their subsidiaries, who micromanaged daily operations of the library.

Librarian William Howard Brett opened the library's first stand-alone children's room on February 22, 1898. Effie Louise Power was appointed Cleveland's first children's librarian.

In 1916, the Cleveland architectural firm of Walker and Weeks won a competition to design a new library building. Construction of their classical Renaissance design, delayed by the First World War, began in 1923 under Linda Anne Eastman. Eastman (1867–1963) was the first woman to head a major U.S. city library system and a pioneer in the modern library system. She opened bookshelves to patrons, replacing the New York Public Library system in which a librarian fetched the books.

Recent history
In 2002, the Cleveland Public Library had annual attendance of 804,692 and an annual circulation of 1,698,928 items. In 2020, the library's collection totaled 13,167,127 items. The Cleveland Public Library is a member of CLEVNET, a consortium of 44 public libraries throughout northern Ohio. In 1947, it became a depository library for the United Nations Library network, holding documents for the state of Ohio. There are only 400 UN depository libraries worldwide.

In 2002, Northern Ohio library patrons had access to download digital books and periodicals through a new e-book system headquartered at Cleveland Public Library. The Clevnet consortium of libraries entered in a $50,000 setup-free agreement with the Cleveland-based company OverDrive to allow patrons to download text from e-books to their personal computer.

In 2012, the library released a strategic plan focusing on communities of learning and preparing for its 150th anniversary in 2019.

Cleveland Public Library launched Tech Central on June 14, 2012, featuring a computer lab with 90 computers, tables encouraging collaboration, a 3D printer, and a MyCloud service. This $1 million launch was funded primarily through the library's existing budgets, in which the MyCloud service was partially funded through corporate partners.

Cleveland Public Library, along with three other Ohio Libraries (Columbus, Toledo, and Cincinnati), opened digitization hubs, with $1 million in funding dispersed among them, funded by Ohio Public Library Information Network and the Library Services Technology Act. The digitization hub at Cleveland Public Library was named the Cleveland Digital Public Library and debuted February 14, 2015. As stated by Chatham Ewing, Cleveland Public Library's Digital Strategist, "It's a way for us to strike up some partnerships with local organizations that have historical objects they are interested in stewarding and digitizing."

In 2018, Cleveland Public Library was designated an official Digital Access Partner with the Federal Depository Library Program for its digitized multi-volume set of the First United States Army Report of Operations during World War II.

Cleveland Public Library celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2019. Events included a street festival, puppet exhibit, and a Writers and Readers author event. Cleveland Print Room partnered with Cleveland Public Library to present photographers chronicling Cleveland through the lens of its communities and Ideastream presented audio stories of Clevelanders.

Revitalization
In 2019, the library announced it was undertaking a decade-long $100 million revitalization project to redevelop all 27 branches. The project began with a $4.1 million renovation of the South Branch, which transformed the 1911 Gothic Revival structure into "...a light-filled jewel box." After finishing all the branch work, CPL will then begin a $65 million rehabilitation of the downtown Main Library. Phase I-A of the plan, affecting six branches, is scheduled for completion in 2024.

Main Library

The Main Library consists of two buildings. The older wing, completed on May 6, 1925, and renovated between 1997 and 1999, has five stories, each as high as two stories in most buildings. The renovations included the restoration of Dominance of the City a large mural painted by Ora Coltman in 1934 for the Federal Arts Project. The painting was restored by the Intermuseum Conservation Association.

In 1957, the library purchased the six-story Plain Dealer Building at 710 Superior Avenue (now the site of the Louis Stokes Wing). The library won passage in November 1957 of a $3 million bond levy to pay for the purchase of the building. The structure was purchased on December 22, 1957, and the new Business and Social Sciences Annex opened on August 24, 1959.

The annex was demolished in 1994 to make way for a second building, named after Representative Louis Stokes, was dedicated on April 12, 1997. Stokes commented, "This is the most beautiful that I have ever seen." The $65 million structure of fritted glass panels and Georgia marble housed eight million items and two million titles on its grand opening. The two buildings are connected by an underground corridor below the Eastman Reading Garden, which was designed by landscape architecture firm OLIN, and includes sculptures by Maya Lin and Tom Otterness.

Branches
During the 1890s, William Howard Brett opened four self-contained branch libraries in leased buildings. As early as 1891, he asked Andrew Carnegie for building permanent structures, but the steel-mogul-turned-philanthropist refused the librarian's requests for 12 years. Brett persisted and in 1903 Carnegie donated $250,000 to build seven branches, including the Woodland Branch. Carnegie was so impressed with Brett's money management of the funds, he eventually increased the amount to $507,000, which built 15 branches-the foundation for what would become one of the largest branch systems in the United States. Children living in the city's poorest manufacturing districts could not visit the library downtown or the new branches, so William Howard Brett and Miss Eastman put small reading collections in neighborhood homes. By 1913, there were 57 "home libraries" in seven different working class districts, serving 11 different nationalities: Italian, Greek, Syrian, Polish, Bohemian, Hungarian, Slovak, Irish, German, Danish, and Norwegian.

Currently, the Cleveland Public Library has 27 neighborhood branches located throughout the city in addition to the Ohio Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled:

 * 1) Addison Branch
 * 2) Brooklyn Branch
 * 3) Carnegie-West Branch – the biggest neighborhood branch at 25000 sqft
 * 4) Collinwood Branch
 * 5) East 131st Street Branch
 * 6) Eastman Branch
 * 7) Fleet Branch
 * 8) Fulton Branch
 * 9) Garden Valley Branch
 * 10) Glenville Branch
 * 11) Harvard-Lee Branch
 * 12) Hough Branch
 * 13) Jefferson Branch
 * 14) Langston Hughes Branch
 * 15) Lorain Branch
 * 16) Martin Luther King, Jr. Branch
 * 17) Memorial-Nottingham Branch – also the location of the Ohio Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled
 * 18) Mount Pleasant Branch
 * 19) Public Administration Library
 * 20) Rice Branch
 * 21) Rockport Branch
 * 22) South Branch
 * 23) South Brooklyn Branch
 * 24) Sterling Branch
 * 25) Union Branch
 * 26) Walz Branch
 * 27) West Park Branch
 * 28) Woodland Branch

A Sensory Garden is also adjacent to the Ohio Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled. The garden was first organized in 1998 and was significantly enlarged the following year. The garden features plants specifically for the tactile sensations they provide and unique scents.

Former sub-branches
The Cleveland Public Library had Sub-Branches (Stations) named Alliance, Alta House, Brooklyn, Detroit, Glenville, Hiram House, Lorain, Lorain-Clark, Prospect, South Brooklyn, Superior, and Temple.

Special collections
The Special Collections Department was created through the work of John G. White, who served as president of the Cleveland Public Library Board of Trustees from 1884 to 1886 and 1913 to 1928. In addition to donating and purchasing many rare books to the library, White underwrote the construction of the Fine Arts and Special Collections reading room and the Exhibit Corridor. The Cleveland Public Library consolidated all rare holdings from subject departments into a unified collection. Most materials are hosted on the library's online catalog, but some are only accessible through the Fine Arts and Special Collections reading room. Collection highlights include:
 * John G. White Chess and Checkers Collections
 * John G. White Collection of Folklore and Orientalia
 * John F. Puskas Miniature Books Collection
 * Tobacco Collection
 * Schweinfurth Collection: Rare architectural publications
 * Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards: The only American book award designed to recognize works addressing issues of racism and diversity.

Notable art and architecture
The Public Works of Art Project came to Cleveland in 1933, with far-reaching lines of job-seeking artists extending around the Cleveland Museum of Art. Linda Eastman was invited to consult with Cleveland Museum of Art Director William Milliken. What resulted from this interaction were murals of Willam Sommer's "The City in 1833", Donald Bayard's "Early Transportation", and Ora Coltman's "The Dominance of the City." Linda Eastman believed if art could lead readers to books, if art could enlighten and educate in itself, than art was acceptable at the Cleveland Public Library.

To complete the decoration of Brett Hall, Cleveland Public Library partnered with the Cleveland Area Arts Council to select three new artists to paint new murals for the walls. "Sommer's Sun" by Edwin Mieczkowski's, Christopher Pekoc's "Night Sky", and "Public Square" by Robert Jergens.

Hanging from the Main Library entrance hall is a large terrestrial pearl-gray art glass globe made by the Sterling Bronze Company in 1925. This globe is based on a Leonardo da Vinci map, now housed at Windsor Castle. The map is one of earliest to depict the Americas-with North America indicated simply by small islands.

The portraits of former members of Congress Louis Stokes and Stephanie Tubbs Jones are housed at the Cleveland Public Library, painted by artist Khaz Ra'el.

Expanded Stub
I've expanded the stub and hope that this shows that it should not be deleted. I'm worried about premise four (i.e. that Socrates claims the result is the falsity of the thesis and the truth of its contrary): this is Vlastos's interpretation and is not universally accepted. However, I thought I should include one complete account of the elenchos, and Vlatos's is perhaps the best known.--Dast 13:30, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Could you tell me why should we remove this nomination? Please reply so that I can improve this article more to a higher status. And also, what was the meaning of the 'large text jumps out at you before you can even read it'?; I already revised it because Mgm said that it was a stub, and now, someone says that it's too long.

 * Since you seem sincere, I'll offer what I can to help. Very simply, it doesn't meet many of the important featured article criteria. It has no references, no lead section (since it is not long enough to even have a table of contents), and is not likely comprehensive on its subject due to how short it is. It's not bad information, it is just not very close to being a FA. Nothing wrong with that. If you do want it to be a FA, read through the criteria and try to meet all of them. Especially by finding the most authoritative sources on the subject and write up their findings and cite them properly. That way you'll find what else there is to write about the subject, and it will be authoritative. Check through some of the other recently promoted FA's or even just some of the ones on this page with unanimous support to see the difference in level of quality of this one vs those. - Taxman 17:07, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)

Superior Person's Book of Words

The Superior Person's Book of Words is a non-fiction book by Australian lexicographer Peter Bowler. It was first published in Australia as The Superior Person's Little Book of Words in 1979 and subsequently re-published under its current title. The work collects several bizarre, obsolete and supposedly very useful words from the English language. Bowler followed the book up with five companion books, including the 2009 work The Completely Superior Person's Book of Words which included his original book and two others. Godine has reported that the work is one of their bestselling titles and sells between "25,000 to 30,000" copies a year.

Military Grid Reference System

The Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) is the geocoordinate standard used by NATO militaries for locating points on Earth. The MGRS is derived from the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid system and the Universal Polar Stereographic (UPS) grid system, but uses a different labeling convention. The MGRS is used as geocode for the entire Earth.

An example of an MGRS coordinate, or grid reference, would be [21_18_34.0_N_157_55_0.7_W_&language=en 4QFJ12345678], which consists of three parts:
 * 4Q (grid zone designator, GZD)
 * FJ (the 100,000-meter square identifier)
 * 1234 5678 (numerical location; easting is 1234 and northing is 5678, in this case specifying a location with 10 m resolution)

An MGRS grid reference is a point reference system. When the term 'grid square' is used, it can refer to a square with a side length of 10 km, 1 km, 100 m, 10 m or 1 m, depending on the precision of the coordinates provided. (In some cases, squares adjacent to a Grid Zone Junction (GZJ) are clipped, so polygon is a better descriptor of these areas.) The number of digits in the numerical location must be even: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10, depending on the desired precision. When changing precision levels, it is important to truncate rather than round the easting and northing values to ensure the more precise polygon will remain within the boundaries of the less precise polygon. Related to this is the primacy of the southwest corner of the polygon being the labeling point for an entire polygon. In instances where the polygon is not a square and has been clipped by a grid zone junction, the polygon keeps the label of the southwest corner as if it had not been clipped.

 * 4Q ......................GZD only, precision level 6° × 8° (in most cases)
 * 4Q FJ ...................GZD and 100 km Grid Square ID, precision level 100 km
 * 4Q FJ 1 6 ...............precision level 10 km
 * 4Q FJ 12 67 .............precision level 1 km
 * 4Q FJ 123 678 ...........precision level 100 m
 * 4Q FJ 1234 6789 .........precision level 10 m
 * 4Q FJ 12345 67890 .......precision level 1 m

Grid zone designation
The first part of an MGRS coordinate is the grid-zone designation. The 6° wide UTM zones, numbered 1–60, are intersected by latitude bands that are normally 8° high, lettered C–X (omitting I and O). The northmost latitude band, X, is 12° high. The intersection of a UTM zone and a latitude band is (normally) a 6° × 8° polygon called a grid zone, whose designation in MGRS is formed by the zone number (one or two digits – the number for zones 1 to 9 is just a single digit, according to the example in DMA TM 8358.1, Section 3-2, Figure 7), followed by the latitude band letter (uppercase). This same notation is used in both UTM and MGRS, i.e. the UTM grid reference system; the article on Universal Transverse Mercator shows many maps of these grid zones, including the irregularities for Svalbard and southwest Norway.

As Figure 1 illustrates, Honolulu is in grid zone 4Q.

100,000-meter square identification
The second part of an MGRS coordinate is the 100,000-meter square identification. Each UTM zone is divided into 100,000 meter squares, so that their corners have UTM-coordinates that are multiples of 100,000 meters. The identification consists of a column letter (A–Z, omitting I and O) followed by a row letter (A–V, omitting I and O).

Near the equator, the columns of UTM zone 1 have the letters A–H, the columns of UTM zone 2 have the letters J–R (omitting O), and the columns of UTM zone 3 have the letters S–Z. At zone 4, the column letters start over from A, and so on around the world.

For the row letters, there are actually two alternative lettering schemes within MGRS:
 * In the AA scheme, also known as MGRS-New, which is used for WGS84 and some other modern geodetic datums, the letter for the first row – just north of the equator – is A in odd-numbered zones, and F in even-numbered zones, as shown in figure 1. Note that the westmost square in this row, in zone 1, has identification AA.
 * In the alternative AL scheme, also known as MGRS-Old, which is used for some older geodetic datums, the row letters are shifted 10 steps in the alphabet. This means that the letter for the first row is L in odd-numbered zones and R in even-numbered zones.  The westmost square in the first row, in zone 1, has identification AL.

If an MGRS coordinate is complete (with both a grid zone designation and a 100,000 meter square identification), and is valid in one lettering scheme, then it is usually invalid in the other scheme, which will have no such 100,000 meter square in the grid zone. (Latitude band X is the exception to this rule.) Therefore, a position reported in a modern datum usually cannot be misunderstood as using an old datum, and vice versa – provided the datums use different MGRS lettering schemes.

In the map (figure 1), which uses the AA scheme, we see that Honolulu is in grid zone 4Q, and square FJ. To give the position of Honolulu with 100 km resolution, we write 4QFJ.

Numerical location
The third part of an MGRS coordinate is the numerical location within a 100,000 meter square, given as n + n digits, where n is 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. If 5 + 5 digits is used, the first 5 digits give the easting in meters, measured from the left edge of the square, and the last 5 digits give the northing in meters, measured from the bottom edge of the square. The resolution in this case is 1 meter, so the MGRS coordinate would represent a 1-meter square, where the easting and northing are measured to its southwest corner. If a resolution of 10 meters is enough, the final digit of the easting and northing can be dropped, so that only 4 + 4 digits are used, representing a 10-meter square. If a 100-meter resolution is enough, 3 + 3 digits suffice; if a 1 km resolution is enough, 2 + 2 digits suffice; if 10 km resolution is enough, 1 + 1 digits suffice. 10 meter resolution (4 + 4 digits) is sufficient for many purposes, and is the NATO standard for specifying coordinates.

If we zoom in on Hawaii (figure 2), we see that the square that contains Honolulu, if we use 10 km resolution, would be written 4QFJ15.

If the grid zone or 100,000-meter square are clear from context, they can be dropped, and only the numerical location is specified. For example:
 * If every position being located is within the same grid zone, only the 100,000-meter square and numerical location are specified.
 * If every position being located is within the same grid zone and 100,000-meter square, only the numerical location is specified.
 * However, even if every position being located is within a small area, but the area overlaps multiple 100,000-meter squares or grid zones, the entire grid reference is required.

One always reads map coordinates from west to east first (easting), then from south to north (northing). Common mnemonics include "in the house, up the stairs", "left-to-right, bottom-to-top" and "Read Right Up".

Truncation, not rounding and read more
As mentioned above, when converting UTM coordinates to an MGRS grid reference, or when abbreviating an MGRS grid reference to lower precision, one should the coordinates, not round. This has been controversial in the past, since the oldest specification, TM8358.1, used rounding, as did GEOTRANS before version 3.0. However, truncation is used in GEOTRANS since version 3.0, and in NGA Military Map Reading 201 (page 5) and in the US Army Field Manual 3-25.26. The civilian version of MGRS, USNG, also uses truncation.

Squares that cross a latitude band boundary
The boundaries of the latitude bands are parallel circles (dashed black lines in figure 1), which do not coincide with the boundaries of the 100,000-meter squares (blue lines in figure 1). For example, at the boundary between grid zones 1P and 1Q, we find a 100,000-meter square BT, of which about two thirds is south of latitude 16° and therefore in grid zone 1P, while one third is north of 16° and therefore in 1Q. So, an MGRS grid reference for a position in BT should begin with 1PBT in the south part of BT, and with 1QBT in the north part of BT. At least, this is possible if the precision of the grid reference is enough to place the denoted area completely inside either 1P or 1Q.

But an MGRS grid reference can denote an area that crosses a latitude band boundary. For example, when describing the entire square BT, should it be called 1PBT or 1QBT? Or when describing the 1000-meter square BT8569, should it be called 1PBT8569 or 1QBT8569? In these cases, software that interprets an MGRS grid reference should accept both of the possible latitude band letters. A practical motivation was given in the release notes for GEOTRANS, Release 2.0.2, 1999:

"The MGRS module was changed to make the final latitude check on MGRS to UTM conversions sensitive to the precision of the input MGRS coordinate string. The lower the input precision, the more 'slop' is allowed in the final check on the latitude zone letter. This is to handle an issue raised by some F-16 pilots, who truncate MGRS strings that they receive from the Army.  This truncation can put them on the wrong side of a latitude zone boundary, causing the truncated MGRS string to be considered invalid.  The correction causes truncated strings to be considered valid if any part of the square which they denote lies within the latitude zone specified by the third letter of the string."

Polar regions

In the polar regions, a different convention is used. South of 80°S, UPS South (Universal Polar Stereographic) is used instead of a UTM projection. The west half-circle forms a grid zone with designation A; the east half-circle forms one with designation B; see figure 3. North of 84°N, UPS North is used, and the west half-circle is Y, the east one is Z; see figure 4. Since the letters A, B, Y, and Z are not used for any latitude bands of UTM, their presence in an MGRS coordinate, with the omission of a zone number, indicates that the coordinates are in the UPS system.

The lettering scheme for 100,000 m squares is slightly different in the polar regions. The column letters use a more restricted alphabet, going from A to Z but omitting D, E, I, M, N, O, V, W; the columns are arranged so that the rightmost column in grid zone A and Y has column letter Z, and the next column in grid zone B or Z starts over with column letter A. The row letters go from A to Z, omitting I and O.  The restricted column alphabet for UPS ensures that no UPS square will be adjacent to a UTM square with the same identification.

In the polar regions, there is only one version of the lettering scheme.

Hello, my name is Allan, I am a Jesus Freak; when I first found Wikipedia I instantly decided to join, 6 months later, I got off my lazy bum to do it... lol... My email address is alstar_popsicle@hotmail.com... I am a student at a Calvary Christian College and injoy my studies superfluously. I am a vigurously known as the school "maths genious", I generally don't see myself as a maths genious, it's all just so easy. I Also injoy learning about everything, only somethings I just cannot get my mind around, like making people laugh, sometimes I do it, actually I often do it, I just don't really understand the concept of it. I laugh as well, only my annalytical mind cannot comprehend it very well. Any way, back to Jesus, He's my best friend and I love Him so much, He saved my life so I thought that I should do the only decent thing which can be done in a situation like this, that is give Him my life. It's worked wonders for me already. I do, however have a few challenges, for instance I like this girl whom I don't know if she has feelings for me or not, I asked her out and got a possitive responce, however she seems to have regreted giving it to me. I'm stumpet at this one but hay, life is still awesome as long as Jesus is in it. I am so happy because of this. Happy days all, be blessed and be a blessing.

Talk:Eilistraee

Rewrote
rewrote this entire article on the temp page a few days back

Er... War of the Spider Goddess?
Shouldn't something be mentioned about the War of the Spider Goddess? I mean, Eilistraee herself gave the weapon meant to destroy Lolth, chose the former followers of Lolth, and has quite a stake in the whole outcome, at least as much as her brother (though I'm unsure if she actually made an appearance in the series).
 * That's War of the Spider Queen ;) And yes, she has an incredible stake in Lolth's disappearance/death. The only appearances she made were giving Halisstra powers and the like; she never appears flat-out like Vhaeraun does. Kyou 05:16, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to question the notion that male priests of Eilistraee are beginning to appear. Granted, I haven't read any of the Mary Sue Baenre books past Daughter of the Drow, and am not terribly familiar with the Dark Maiden's lore in 3E aside from her promotion to the "A-list" of Faerunian deities, but I've not seen anything in any novel or sourcebook I've read to suggest She is calling males to the priesthood. Please cite an official source? --Kylenne 07:18, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

--Official source: The Lady Penitant series, by Lisa Smedman. Eilistraee kills her twin brother Vhaerun when he attempts to assassinate her, and usurps his Portfolio. She also accepts all his clerics and followers. - JP

Lady Penitent Trilogy
Someone needs to add Book 3. Eilistraee sacrificed herself to redeem her followers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brooklynknight (talk • contribs) 20:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Eilistraee is alive post Sundering
I've added a new section, explaining Eilistraee's comeback after the Sundering.

The source is the passage from the novel Spellstorm that I've added to the article, and a clarifying quote from Ed Greenwood, on the Candlekeep forums, through his voice there (a poster named The Hooded One).  --Irennan (talk) 19:17, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Further books with this bit of info have come out, and have been added.--Irennan (talk) 19:07, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

disambiguation
I fixed all the non D&D links I could find in the article. If there's any other link, let me know.--Irennan (talk) 00:49, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Verification
I understand that the Verification tag probably refers to the links to Ed Greenwood's forum posts. I also understand why it may appear that those need verification. However, within the context of the Forgotten Realms, Mr. Greenwood's word is indeed official, because of his contract with TSR, which was then inherited by WotC. Much of the information that he provided on that forum is exclusive, and can't be found in published sources (which is also the case for some of the posts that I've used as citations. What has been said in the posts that talk about Eilistraee's return can be also found in novels and D&D books; more in depth lore is however absent in those, and comes from Ed Greenwood's posts). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Irennan (talk • contribs) 18:31, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Splitting the article, notability
I personally don't think that this article should be merged with the one about the Drow Deities. That's because most of those gods have their own article, and because Eilistraee is a character that has become iconic to the drow in the Realms--even (arguably) as much as Lolth is, when it comes to that setting. She is well known among the fanbase, and is popular as well, having been featured in many novels and sourcebooks, being some her followers iconic characters of the Realms (like Liriel Baenre, or Qilué Veladorn), and having brought a deep change in how the drow are perceived (with whole communities/societies of non-evil drow, which are unique to the Forgotten Realms).--Irennan (talk) 14:37, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

About the length, the article could be split into a part about Eilistraee herself, and another about her followers. However, followers of Eilistraee alone could not meet the notability criteria. It may be added to the main drow (D&D) article, under the drow in the Forgotten Realms section. The page about Eilistraee would then include only a general description of her followers and redirect to the main drow page for more info.--Irennan (talk) 17:43, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
 * This article should definitely not be further split into more articles. 65.126.152.254 (talk) 22:19, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Yeah, that's why I suggested that the info about Eilistraee's followers could be moved to the "Drow in the Forgotten Realms" section of the Drow (D&D) article.--Irennan (talk) 14:05, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

SC Paderborn 07

Sport-Club Paderborn 07 e.V., commonly known as simply SC Paderborn 07 or SC Paderborn, is a German association football club based in Paderborn, North Rhine-Westphalia. The club has enjoyed its greatest success since the turn of the millennium, becoming a fixture in the 2. Bundesliga before securing promotion to the Bundesliga in the 2013–14 season. However, they got relegated to the 2. Bundesliga after only a season in the top division, and then again to the 3. Liga the season after. This relegation streak almost continued as low as the Regionalliga West, but were saved in the 2016-17 season because 1860 Munich were refused a license. The club returned to 2. Bundesliga, reaching 2nd place in the 2018–19 season and was promoted to the Bundesliga. The club finished 18th in the 2019–20 season and returned to the 2. Bundesliga.

Fusion into SC Paderborn
For most of the twentieth century, Paderborn had two football clubs: TuS Schloss Neuhaus and FC Paderborn, who remained rivals until the 1980s. After Neuhaus had been promoted to the 2. Bundesliga and finished last in 1983, this set-up had reached its athletic and financial ceiling. Thus, in 1985, the two clubs merged into TuS Paderborn/Neuhaus. In 1997, the club adopted its current identity by assuming the name SC Paderborn 07, named after TuS Neuhaus's founding date 1907.

Beginnings in amateur football (1985–2005)
During most of the 1980s, the recently merged club competed in the third-tier Oberliga Westfalen, where they counted among the leading teams but never achieved promotion. In 1994, Paderborn won the league and thereby qualified for the promotion playoffs. The team lost to Eintracht Braunschweig and Fortuna Düsseldorf, but secured a place in the newly formed third-tier of the German football pyramid, the Regionalliga West/Südwest. Except for a brief stint in the fourth tier, Paderborn enjoyed moderate success with regular trips to the DFB Pokal.

During one of these, in 2004/5, the club reached the round of 16, beating MSV Duisburg and Bundesliga side Hamburger SV on the way. It later emerged that latter match had been affected by match fixing; referee Robert Hoyzer had received a bribe to let Paderborn win the game. The incident remains the most significant betting scandal in the history of German football.

Consolidation in the 2. Bundesliga (2005–15)
Paderborn returned to the 2. Bundesliga for the first time in nearly thirty years at the end of the same season. The team's advance into professional football brought with it a professionalisation of its structures, and, in 2005, construction began on a new 15,000-seat stadium, which replaced the dated Hermann-Löns-Stadion. All of this helped to establish the club as a regular component of Germany's professional football landscape. This process culminated in the club's first promotion to the Bundesliga after the 2013/14 season under coach André Breitenreiter, who had only joined the club from TSV Havelse at the start of the season.

Bundesliga and years of turbulence (2015–present)
Having never been in the Bundesliga before, Paderborn were described as "the biggest outsider in Bundesliga history" going into the season. The team started well; in the fourth game of the campaign against Hannover 96, midfielder Moritz Stoppelkamp scored a volley from 83 metres out, headline a Bundesliga record for the furthest ever goal. This goal also put the team top of the Bundesliga table at the time.

Paderborn were 10th in the table at the halfway point, but suffered a number of heavy losses in the second half of the season. On the second last matchday of the season, they dropped to last place, and were relegated on the final day. Upon relegation, a number of key players such as Alban Meha, Mario Vrančić, Lukas Rupp, Marvin Ducksch and captain Uwe Hünemeier left the club, while coach Breitenreiter joined Schalke.

Starting the 2015–16 season with Markus Gellhaus in charge, Paderborn surprisingly gave former Germany international Stefan Effenberg his first coaching job in October 2015. In March, Effenberg was sacked, with the team bottom of the table and heading for a second consecutive relegation, which was later confirmed. Competing in the 3. Liga for the first time since 2009, Paderborn again found themselves at the bottom of the table. After Steffen Baumgart took over as coach in April, the team picked up 11 points from his five games in charge, but could not escape the relegation zone, finishing in 18th position. That should have been a third relegation in a row, this time to the non-professional Regionalliga West, but Paderborn were unexpectedly saved by 1860 Munich not receiving a license to play in the 3. Liga. 1860 Munich were forced to move to the Regionalliga Bayern, which allowed Paderborn to stay in the third tier.

Having been saved narrowly, Baumgart's team surprisingly finished second in the 2017–18 season and returned to the 2. Bundesliga. In 2019, a remarkable turn of events, the newly promoted side completed another top-two finish, which returned Paderborn to the Bundesliga after years of turbulence. The 2019–20 season, however, ended in the same way their first Bundesliga campaign did, as Paderborn finished last, meaning relegation back to the second tier in June 2020. The following season, Paderborn finished 9th in the 2. Bundesliga, the first time since 2012–13 that the club finished outside the promotion or relegation places.
