Music of Vojvodina

The music of Vojvodina is played by such organizations as the Opera of the Serbian National Theatre, an orchestra, the Tamburitza Orchestra of Radio Television of Vojvodina, Guitarists Association of Vojvodina the National String Orchestra, Zlatna Tamburica, the Association of Serbian Singing Groups, Oj Dunave, Dunave Plavi, the Academy of the Arts in Novi Sad and the Muzička Omladina youth organization.

Classical music
Since at least the 19th century, Vojvodina has had a vibrant choral tradition. Some of the best-known choruses include "Koča Kolarov" (from Zrenjanin), and "Isidora Sekulić" (from Novi Sad).

Vojvodina has produced a well-known composer in Josif Marinković (1851–1931) from Vranjevo. He wrote Romantic-influenced pieces for choruses with accompaniment by a piano, as well as hymns and theatrical music. Marinković used some elements of Serbian folk music in these compositions. Another composer from Vojvodina was Isidor Bajić, who also studied the area's folk music and founded the Serbian Music Magazine.

Modern musicians from Vojvodina include Pera Petrović, a violinist and singer.

Traditional music
The traditional music of Vojvodina forms a kind of continuum with the folk music of Romania in the east, the folk music of Hungary in the north, the folk music of Slavonia (Croatia) in the west, and the folk music of Central Serbia in the south. There is also some difference between the traditional music in various parts of Vojvodina, as well as the difference between the music of various ethnic groups in the region. Traditional music of Vojvodina is to a large extent associated with small tamburitza (tamburica) and string orchestras. The format of orchestra varies; in the most common form, it usually has one or two tamburitzas, a violin, a guitar and a contrabass (colloquially referred to as "begeš"); sometimes it also includes an accordion. Such orchestras are, somewhat archaically, called bandas (bande). There are also orchestras consisting only of tambourines; their repertoire is, however, somewhat limited to more gentle songs.

The most renowned tamburitza orchestra was the one of late Janika Balázs. Singer and composer Zvonko Bogdan is the most popular performer throughout.

Modern violinist Félix Lajkó based his jazz-like opus on a broad spectrum of influences from the music of Pannonian plain, including Hungarian, Vojvodinian and Romani music.

Pop and rock
The "golden era" of pop and rock in Vojvodina, as elsewhere in Serbia were 1980s, when the new wave explosion launched several excellent bands. The most relevant bands from that period were short-living but influential punkers Pekinška patka, pop experimentists Laboratorija zvuka and arty La strada led by Slobodan Tišma. In the 1990s, the most outstanding bands were Obojeni program and Love Hunters from Novi Sad. In the late 1990s and 2000s, a stream of pop bands also gained limited popularity (Oružjem protivu otmičara, Zbogom Brus Li, Instant karma).

Singer-songwriter Đorđe Balašević, however, remains the most outstanding figure of modern popular music in Vojvodina. His career has lasted since 1977 to present days.

Folk music
During the 1990s the popular music in Serbia and Vojvodina became the so-called "new-composed folk music" (turbo-folk), with the influences from the oriental music such as Turkish or Greek music. Popular folk music singers from Vojvodina include Dara Bubamara, Miloš Bojanić and Boža Nikolić.

Phillips (lunar crater)

Phillips is a lunar impact crater that is located in the vicinity of the Moon's east-southeastern limb, named after British geologist John Phillips. The larger walled plain Humboldt lies across the eastern rim of Phillips, and the outer rampart covers nearly half the interior floor. The surviving rim is eroded in places, and not quite circular.

The northern end of the crater's rim forms an outward-projecting bend, and the inner wall is diminished along that side. There is a small circular crater along the western rim. The interior floor is irregular in places, with a central ridge near the midpoint. To the southwest of Phillips lies the crater Legendre.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Phillips.

Folk Music
I've never heard about Rada Adžić and Boža Nikolić. I don't mind (quite the opposite) including narodnjaci in the article, but those two are totally Greek to me (not that I'm a follower). Dara Bubamara should probably get an entry instead. Is Miloš Bojanić from Futog IIRC? Him, too. There's also Anđelka Govedarević, from the "old school". Duja 19:35, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah, Googling. Rada Adžić is Dara Bubamara. I'm changing the entry -- celebrities should be listed under alias if it's more famous. Duja 19:37, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

I have her first album (She grew up in my neighbourhood) and she published this album under name Rada Adžić. Later, she introduces nickname Dara Bubamara. Boža Nikolić died several years ago. He was popular in one time period. PANONIAN  (talk)  19:52, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

TCB (TV program)

TCB is a 1968 television special produced by Motown Productions and George Schlatter–Ed Friendly Productions of Laugh-In fame. The special is a musical revue starring Motown's two most popular groups at the time, Diana Ross & the Supremes and The Temptations. Containing a combination of showtunes, specially prepared numbers, and popular Motown hits, the special was taped before a live studio audience in September 1968 and originally broadcast December 9, 1968 on NBC, sponsored by the Timex watch corporation. The title of the program uses a then-popular acronym, "TCB", which stands for "Taking Care of Business".

Among the program's highlights were Diana Ross' "Afro Vogue" solo spot, Paul Williams' emotionally charged rendition of "For Once in My Life," a cover by both groups of the Aretha Franklin version of Otis Redding's "Respect," and then-new Temptations lead singer Dennis Edwards' lead performance on "(I Know) I'm Losing You," a song considered a signature for his predecessor, David Ruffin.

Pre-empting Laugh-In on Monday night, TCB was the first musical TV special of the rock era to air on American broadcast television. It exceeded all performance expectations, winning its timeslot in the ratings and becoming the top-rated variety show of 1968. A soundtrack album, TCB – The Original Cast Soundtrack was released a week before the special aired on December 9 and reached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Top 200 albums chart. It also became the third #1 album for Diana Ross and The Supremes. The first #1 was The Supremes A' Go Go in 1966 by The Supremes and the second was Greatest Hits in 1967.

As of December 2021, the show has not been officially released on home video. Various clips are available for viewing online by streaming media, including YouTube.

The vinyl LP soundtrack album has been remastered and reissued on CD.

EuroTorp

GEIE EuroTorp is a consortium that produces the MU90 anti-submarine torpedo. EuroTorp was formed in July 1993 by French and Italian defense companies after their governments signed a memorandum of understanding on industrial cooperation for the development of a common lightweight torpedo.

The following companies make up EuroTorp:
 * Whitehead Alenia Sistemi Subacquei S.p.A. (WASS): 50%
 * Naval Group (previously DCNS Group) for and on behalf of DCNS, through DCN/SC/Stz: 26%
 * Thales (previously Thomson-CSF) through Thales Underwater Systems: 24%

EuroTorp's role is to develop, manufacture and market the MU90 and associated torpedo launching systems. As the designated contractor for lightweight torpedoes, it was initially also responsible for Italy's remaining A244-S torpedoes, which are now no longer used by France and Italy. EuroTorp is also responsible for logistical support, achieving compliance with operational specifications, integration on launching platforms, and the development of new systems such as the "Hard Kill" and submarine-launched versions of the MU90.

Arjun Appadurai

Arjun Appadurai (born 1949) is an Indian-American anthropologist recognized as a major theorist in globalization studies. In his anthropological work, he discusses the importance of the modernity of nation-states and globalization. He is the former University of Chicago professor of anthropology and South Asian Languages and Civilizations, Humanities Dean of the University of Chicago, director of the city center and globalization at Yale University, and the Education and Human Development Studies professor at NYU Steinhardt School of Culture.

Some of his notable works include Worship and Conflict under Colonial Rule (1981), Disjuncture and Difference in the Global Cultural Economy (1990), of which an expanded version is found in Modernity at Large (1996), and Fear of Small Numbers (2006). He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1997.

Early life
Appadurai was born in 1949, into a Tamil family in Mumbai (Bombay), India and educated in India. He graduated from St. Xavier's High School, Fort, Mumbai, and earned his Intermediate Arts degree from Elphinstone College, Mumbai, before moving to the United States. He then received his B.A. from Brandeis University in 1970.

Career
He was formerly a professor at the University of Chicago where he received his M.A. (1973) and Ph.D (1976) in Anthropology. After working there, he spent a brief time at Yale.

University of Pennsylvania
Appadurai taught for many years at the University of Pennsylvania, in the departments of Anthropology and South Asia Studies. During his years at Penn, in 1984, he hosted a conference through the Penn Ethnohistory program; this conference led to the publication of the volume called The Social Life of Things: Commodities in Cultural Perspective (1986). Later he joined the faculty at the New School University. He currently is a faculty member of New York University's Media Culture and Communication department in the Steinhardt School.

Works
Some of his most important works include Worship and Conflict under Colonial Rule (1981), Disjuncture and Difference in the Global Cultural Economy (1990), of which an expanded version is found in Modernity at Large (1996), and Fear of Small Numbers (2006). In The Social Life of Things (1986), Appadurai argued that commodities do not only have economic value; they have political value and social lives as well. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1997.

His doctoral work was based on the car festival held in the Parthasarathi temple in Triplicane, Madras. Arjun Appadurai is member of the Advisory Board of the Forum d'Avignon, international meetings of culture, the economy and the media. He is also an advisory member of the journal Janus Unbound: Journal of Critical Studies.

New School
In 2004, after a brief time as administrator at Yale University, Appadurai became Provost of New School University. Appadurai's resignation from the Provost's office was announced 30 January 2006 by New School President Bob Kerrey. He held the John Dewey Distinguished Professorship in the Social Sciences at New School. Appadurai became one of the more outspoken critics of President Kerrey when he attempted to appoint himself provost in 2008.

New York University
In 2008 it was announced that Appadurai was appointed Goddard Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. Appadurai retired as emeritus from the department in 2021.

Bard Graduate Center
In 2021, Appadurai was appointed Max Weber Global Professor at the Bard Graduate Center, though he is based in Berlin and teaches remotely.

Affiliations
Appadurai is a co-founder of the academic journal Public Culture; founder of the non-profit Partners for Urban Knowledge, Action and Research (PUKAR) in Mumbai; co-founder and co-director of Interdisciplinary Network on Globalization (ING); and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He has served as a consultant or advisor to a wide range of public and private organizations, including the Ford, Rockefeller and MacArthur foundations; UNESCO; the World Bank; and the National Science Foundation.

Appadurai has presided over Chicago globalization plan, at many public and private organizations (such as the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, UNESCO, the World Bank, etc.) consultant and long-term concern issues of globalization, modernity and ethnic conflicts.

Appadurai held many scholarships and grants, and has received numerous academic honors, including the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (California) and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, as well as individual research fellowship from the Open Society Institute (New York). He was elected Arts and Sciences in 1997, the American Academy of Sciences. In 2013, he was awarded an honorary doctorate Erasmus University in the Netherlands. He holds concurrent academic positions as a Mercator Fellow, Free University and Humboldt University, Berlin; Honorary Professor in the Department of Media and Communication at Erasmus University, Rotterdam; and Senior Research Partner at the Max-Planck Institute for Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Gottingen.

He also served as a consultant or adviser, extensive public and private organizations, including many large foundations (Ford, MacArthur and Rockefeller); the UNESCO; UNDP; World Bank; the US National Endowment for the Humanities; National Science Foundation; and Infosys Foundation. He served on the Social Sciences jury for the Infosys Prize in 2010 and 2017. He currently serves as the Asian Art Program Advisory Committee members in the Solomon Guggenheim Museum, and the forum D 'Avignon Paris Scientific Advisory Board.

Theory
In his best known work 'Disjuncture and Difference in the Global Cultural Economy' Appadurai lays out his meta theory of disjuncture. For him the ‘new global cultural economy has to be seen as a complex, overlapping, disjunctive order’. This order is composed of different interrelated, yet disjunctive global cultural flows, specifically the following five:

 * 1) ethnoscapes; the migration of people across cultures and borders
 * 2) mediascapes; the variety of media that shape the way we understand our world
 * 3) technoscapes; the scope and movement of technology (mechanical and informational) around the world
 * 4) financescapes; the worldwide flux of money and capital
 * 5) ideoscapes; the global flow of ideas and ideologies

The social imaginary
Appadurai articulated a view of cultural activity known as the social imaginary, which is composed of the five dimensions of global cultural flows.

He describes his articulation of the imaginary as: "The image, the imagined, the imaginary – these are all terms that direct us to something critical and new in global cultural processes: the imagination as a social practice. No longer mere fantasy (opium for the masses whose real work is somewhere else), no longer simple escape (from a world defined principally by more concrete purposes and structures), no longer elite pastime (thus not relevant to the lives of ordinary people), and no longer mere contemplation (irrelevant for new forms of desire and subjectivity), the imagination has become an organized field of social practices, a form of work (in the sense of both labor and culturally organized practice), and a form of negotiation between sites of agency (individuals) and globally defined fields of possibility. This unleashing of the imagination links the play of pastiche (in some settings) to the terror and coercion of states and their competitors. The imagination is now central to all forms of agency, is itself a social fact, and is the key component of the new global order."

Appadurai credits Benedict Anderson with developing notions of imagined communities. Some key figures who have worked on the imaginary are Cornelius Castoriadis, Charles Taylor, Jacques Lacan (who especially worked on the symbolic, in contrast with imaginary and the real), and Dilip Gaonkar. However, Appadurai's ethnography of urban social movements in the city of Mumbai has proved to be contentious with several scholars like the Canadian anthropologist, Judith Whitehead arguing that SPARC (an organization which Appadurai espouses as an instance of progressive social activism in housing) being complicit in the World Bank's agenda for re-developing Mumbai.

Che Guevara
Just for what it's worth: "shield from scandal" and "shield from a scandal" are equally legitimate. The former uses scandal in a more abstract meaning, comparable to "shield from obloquy". -- Jmabel | Talk 02:09, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * I see. The reason that the abstract meaning didn't feel right to me was that it was being used in a specific sense. In other words, "The birth certificate may have been deliberately falsified to help shield the family from scandal." sounds right, while the sentence I edited was: "The birth certificate may have been deliberately falsified to help shield the family from scandal relating to his mother's...", which is not an abstract "shield from scandal" case, but a "shield from a scandal relating to..." specific case of a scandal. Obviously a personal taste issue now that I think it through further. On a side note, it's pretty funny/embarassing that my edit summary was 'grammer' :p . Someone should have edited my edit summary for 'spelling'. Anyway, I can't believe that I spent energy on the issue in the first place, so feel free to revert. It was nice to chat with a well-respected wikipedian, though. Thanks for the note. --Dan 05:11, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Piazzi (crater)

Piazzi is an impact crater that is located near the southwestern limb of the Moon, and is attached to the southeastern rim of the walled plain Lagrange. About three crater diameters to the south is the crater Inghirami. Piazzi is seen at an oblique angle from the Earth, and it appears oblong due to foreshortening.

As with Lagrange, this formation has been heavily modified by the ejecta from the formation of the Mare Orientale impact basin to the northwest. This material has formed radial valleys and ridges across the surface of these craters. The interior floor of Piazzi has dark patches of low albedo along the northeastern rim. The outer rim of the crater is irregular and eroded, and a few small craters lie within the uneven interior.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Piazzi.

Young Harris College

Young Harris College is a private Methodist-affiliated liberal arts college in Young Harris, Georgia, United States.

Origins
The school was founded in 1886 by Artemas Lester, a circuit-riding Methodist minister who wanted to provide the residents of the Appalachian Mountains with an education. The college was funded in part by production from an agricultural program, or college farm. Students who could not afford education were allowed to work on the farm to earn tuition.

Originally known as McTyeire Institute for the small village where the school was located, the college struggled for the first year until an Athens judge, Young L.G. Harris, donated enough money to keep the school open. The school was later renamed Young Harris Institute and became Young Harris College in honor of its benefactor, as was the surrounding town in 1895. A fire destroyed the college's main classroom building in 1911, but it was rebuilt by local townspeople and named Sharp Hall in honor of the college president at the time. The Young Harris Academy was founded in the late 19th century and provided a primary education for thousands of students until it closed after World War II.

Bequest
Margaret Adger Pitts, who died in 1998, left an estate valued at $192 million, mostly in Coca-Cola stock acquired by her father in the 1920s. YHC was one of four Georgia entities named to receive the yearly dividends and trust proceeds, approximately $3 million to each of the beneficiaries. The college announced that the money would be used for scholarships, improvements to the campus, and religious programs.

Transition
Since the early 1910s, YHC was a two-year school, granting associate's degrees. In 2008, the college earned its four-year accreditation through regional accreditation organization, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and was approved to offer bachelor's degrees in biology, business and public policy, English, and music. In February 2010, Young Harris' accreditation was expanded to include communication studies, history, outdoor leadership, theatre, and musical theatre in the list of sanctioned bachelor's programs.

Academics
Young Harris College offers Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in more than 30 majors and 22 minors. These academic studies consist of course offerings in seven divisions and programs, including the divisions of Education, Fine Arts, Humanities, Mathematics and Science, and Social and Behavioral Sciences; and three or more programs, including Interdisciplinary, Teacher-Preparation, and Pre-Professional programs.

Joy to the World (Phelps)

"Joy to the World! The Lord Will Come" is an adaptation by W. W. Phelps of the popular Christmas carol "Joy to the World". The adapted song was included in A Collection of Sacred Hymns, the first Latter Day Saint hymnal, which was prepared for publication in 1835 and published in February 1836 as well as all English-language hymnals published by the LDS Church since 1948.

The textual changes typify the millennial expectation and theology of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The version of the song published in the current (1985) hymnal of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints uses the Phelps text except for the first two lines, which reflect Watts' original words.

Side-by-Side Lyrics of Phelps and Watts
The changes were made by W. W. Phelps from the original version written by Isaac Watts.

Phelps Adaptation Joy to the world, the Lord will come!

And earth receive her King;

Let ev'ry heart prepare him room,

And saints and angels sing.

'''Rejoice! rejoice! when Jesus''' reigns!

And saints their songs employ:

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,

Repeat the sounding joy.

No more will sin and sorrow grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He'll come and make the blessings flow

Far as the curse was found.

'''Rejoice! rejoice! in the Most High,'''

While Israel spreads abroad,

Like stars that glitter in the sky,

And ever worship God.

Watts Original Joy to the world, the Lord is come!

Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare Him room,

And heaven and nature sing.

Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns!

Let men their songs employ;

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessings flow

Far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness,

And wonders of His love.

Chino cloth

Chino cloth is a twill fabric originally made from 100% cotton. The most common items made from it, trousers, are widely called chinos. Today it is also found in cotton-synthetic blends.

Developed in the mid-19th century for British and French military uniforms, it has since migrated into civilian wear. Trousers of such a fabric gained popularity in the U.S. when Spanish–American War veterans returned from the Philippines with their twill military trousers.

Etymology
As the cloth itself was originally made in China, the trousers were known in Spanish as pantalones chinos (Chinese pants), which became shortened to simply "chinos" in English.

History
First designed to be used in the military, chino fabric was originally made to be simple, durable and comfortable for soldiers to wear; the use of natural earth-tone colors also began the move towards camouflage, instead of the brightly colored tunics used prior. The British and United States armies started wearing it as standard during the latter half of the 1800s.

The all-cotton fabric is widely used for trousers, referred to as chinos. The original khaki (light brown) is the traditional and most popular color, but chinos are made in many shades.

Pontanus (crater)

Pontanus is a lunar impact crater that is located in the southern highlands of the Moon's near side. It lies approximately midway between the craters Sacrobosco to the north-northeast and Gemma Frisius to the south-southwest. It is 58 kilometers in diameter and 2,120 meters deep.

The rim of this crater has been heavily worn by subsequent impacts, leaving a roughly circular, uneven slope about the interior. There is an outward protrusion in the rim to the south. The rim and inner wall to the north is less prominent, and is incised along the inner edge. The satellite crater Pontanus V is attached to the west-southwestern side. The interior floor is relatively uneven, particularly in the northern half, but is not marked by any significant craters. The crater is from the Pre-Nectarian period, 4.55 to 3.92 billion years ago.

The crater is named after the 15th-century Italian poet Giovanni Pontano.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Pontanus.

Tab Benoit

Tab Benoit (born November 17, 1967) is an American blues guitarist, musician, and singer. His playing combines a number of blues styles, primarily Delta blues.

He plays a stock 1972 Fender Telecaster Thinline electric guitar and writes his own musical compositions. Benoit graduated from Vandebilt Catholic High School in Houma, Louisiana in May 1985. In 2003, he formed "Voice of the Wetlands," an organization promoting awareness of coastal wetlands preservation.

Early years
A guitar player since his teenage years, Benoit appeared at the Blues Box, a music club and cultural center in Baton Rouge run by guitarist Tabby Thomas. Playing guitar alongside Thomas, Raful Neal, Henry Gray, and other high-profile regulars at the club, Benoit learned the blues first-hand from a faculty of living blues legends. He formed a trio in 1987 and began playing clubs in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. He began touring other parts of the South two years later and started touring more of the United States in 1991. Today he continues to perform across the country.

Benoit was featured in the IMAX film, Hurricane on the Bayou.

Development as an artist
Benoit landed a recording contract with Texas-based Justice Records and released a series of recordings, beginning in 1992 with Nice and Warm. These Blues Are All Mine was released on Vanguard in 1999 after Justice folded.

That same year, Benoit appeared on Homesick for the Road, a collaborative album on the Telarc label with fellow guitarists Kenny Neal and Debbie Davies. Homesick not only served as a showcase for three relatively young musicians, but also launched Benoit's relationship with Telarc, which came to fruition in 2002 with the release of Wetlands.

On Wetlands, Benoit mixed original material such as the autobiographical "When a Cajun Man Gets the Blues" and "Fast and Free" with Professor Longhair's "Her Mind Is Gone" and Otis Redding's "These Arms of Mine".

Later in 2002, Benoit released Whiskey Store, a collaborative recording with fellow guitarist and Telarc labelmate Jimmy Thackery, harpist Charlie Musselwhite, and the Double Trouble rhythm section consisting of bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton.

In 2003, Benoit released Sea Saint Sessions, recorded at Big Easy Recording Studio in New Orleans. In addition to Benoit and his regular crew, bassist Carl Dufrene and drummer Darryl White, Sea Saint Sessions included guest appearances by Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Cyril Neville, Brian Stoltz, and George Porter Jr. That same year, Benoit and Thackery took their dueling guitar show on the road, and recorded a March 2003 performance at the Unity Centre for Performing Arts in Unity, Maine. The result was Whiskey Store Live, released in February 2004.

Benoit's 2005 release was Fever for the Bayou, which also included guest appearances by Cyril Neville (vocals and percussion) and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux (vocals). In 2006, Benoit recorded Brother to the Blues with Louisiana's LeRoux. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album. His cover of Buddy Miller's "Shelter Me" was the theme song for the Discovery Channel TV-series, Sons of Guns. In April 2011 Benoit released Medicine, featuring Anders Osborne, Michael Doucet of Beausoleil, and Ivan Neville.

Honors
In 2007, Benoit won his first B.B. King Entertainer of the Year award presented by the Blues Music Awards, described variously as "the highest accolade afforded musicians and songwriters in Blues music" and "[t]he premier blues music event in the world".

Benoit was inducted into The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame (LMHOF) on May 16, 2010, at the LMHOF Louisiana Music Homecoming in Erwinville, Louisiana.

In 2012, Benoit won three separate Blues Music Awards: Contemporary Blues Male Artist; Contemporary Blues Album (for 2011's Medicine); and for the second time, B.B. King Entertainer of the Year.

2013 saw Benoit win the Blues Music Awards Contemporary Blues Male Artist for the second year in a row.

Business ventures and activism
Benoit became owner of Tab Benoit's Lagniappe Music Cafe, situated in the downtown district of Houma, Louisiana.

Benoit has also been involved in conservation efforts on behalf of Louisiana wetlands. He is the founder of 'Voice of the Wetlands,' an organization promoting awareness of the receding coastal wetlands of Louisiana. In 2010, Benoit received the Governor's Award – Conservationist of the Year for 2009 by the Louisiana Wildlife Federation. He uses his music to promote the issues that plague Louisiana's imperiled coast to his national audience. One reason he founded the nonprofit Voice of the Wetlands Foundation (VOW) is to support outreach and education about Louisiana's Wetlands loss and how Louisiana's rich culture is also going away as its wetlands disappear.

He owns his own recording studio in Houma, Louisiana, and runs a record label, Whiskey Bayou Records. Benoit co-arranged and co-produced Alastair Greene's album, The New World Blues. The album was released on October 23, 2020.

Santbech (crater)

Santbech is a lunar impact crater that is located to the southeast of Mare Nectaris. It lies south-southwest of the prominent crater Colombo. About one crater diameter to the east-northeast is the smaller Monge. The terrain around the crater, although rugged in places, has been flooded by lava and so has a low albedo and a relatively flat surface. It was named after the 16th-century Dutch mathematician and astronomer Daniel Santbech Noviomagus. It is from the Pre-Imbrian period, 4.55 to 3.85 billion years ago.

The outer rim of this crater stands above the surrounding terrain, with an irregular outer rampart. The rim perimeter is somewhat irregular, and has been disturbed in several locations by subsequent impacts. There are small craters along the eastern and northwestern rim, and an asymmetrical formation along the southern inner wall. The northern rim is uneven, with a diagonal gouge running to the southeast. Much of the interior floor is level and nearly featureless, with a small central peak offset to the north-northeast of the midpoint.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Santbech.

Talk:West Azerbaijan province

Regarding ethnic makeup of Khoy
According to Encyclopaedia of Islam, Khoy is mixed city of Azeris and Kurds .Heja Helweda 03:48, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Demographics
If you wish to edit the demographics in the West Azarbaijan Province article, (1) discuss it on the talk page, and (2) provide sources IAW Wikipedia policy. --Bejnar 20:51, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * My friend, i have been in all of these cities and i know the ethnic make up of the cities, what i have changed is because it is a fact, please don't change it again. Sorry for my poor En. I have also edited the unofficial names of the cities.  I have source for the make up of the cities, but not on the net, sorry --21:11, 18 July 2007 84.209.82.200 (talk) (contribs)
 * If you have a source, please list it. It does not have to be on the net.  But it does have to be a published reliable source.  See Reliable sources. --Bejnar 21:27, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Most of the editing of the demographics is being done by kurdish nationalists who are trying to infltate their numbers. cities like Khoy and Urmia do have some kurds inhabiting it, however in terms of ethnicity and culture the cities are majority azeri, in addition to the surrounding areas and countryside being predominantly (or exclusively )azeri. I should also mention that cities like mahabad and Piranshar do have some azeris living in it (despite being predominantly kurdish in terms of ethnicity and culture) - so if the kurd nationalists insist on making predominantly azeri districts like khoy and urmia 'azeri-kurd', then they should as well designate the predominantly kurdish districts as 'azeri-kurd' since there are also some azeris living in the district capitals, otherwise its being hypocritical and biased in an article on a neutral site — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.97.20.78 (talk) 04:13, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Please for god's sake, when a source is added, who is in charge of defining whether the source is reliable or not? How comes some people delete sources and adds to an article and decide individually which source is valid or not???????????????????????? Can someone answer this PLEASE?

I added this text to the demographics section it has been accepted by others except HochVoltag! [ Other sources claim that Kurds make at least 50% of the province overall's population so that some parts of this province, especially southern area, constitutes part of Iranian Kurdistan. ] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.74.140.231 (talk) 12:31, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The number of Kurds in the claimed source is only an estimation and can be biased because never a real census by the (Kurd) author has been carried out. There are also some sources which claim that only 2 or 3 percent of population in West Azerbaijan province are from Kurdish background. One can add these sources to wikipedia too. But only statistics based on census are valid. Hochvoltag (talk) 18:14, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

More About Demographics
I don't think changing current section which deals with demographics of this province is a good idea, specially if someone tries to document it with percentage or numbers. The reason behind of it is that actually until now central government of Iran has never done any statistical research which be based on ethnicity or religion, and had never let other organizations to do it,so any comment about numbers at best is just a guess. I think that retaining the older text which was the final fruit of a hot discussion after nearly one year is enough until an official statistical data (which is so unlikely) be published. --80.191.10.161 16:28, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, especially about having finally reached consensus, if not agreement. I have removed the percentages inserted by 84.209.82.200 as no reliable source was forthcoming. --Bejnar 16:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone has again changed the demographics without discussion. I have reverted those changes. --Bejnar (talk) 02:24, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I just removed the whole thing since there has never been an official statistics done on each region of the province. And we have many ips and anonymous editors who keep vandalizing it.  --alidoostzadeh (talk) 14:48, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * i suggest Bejnar to first prove his hypothesis about demographic status of cities in West Azerbaijan province and then force his statistics which i believe it is fake. by the way we have 18 cities with population higher than or above 10,000 in the province. numbers and population is mentioned in your favorite table is incorrect and incompatible with your mentioned references see following link which is reference number 18 in this article: west azerbaijan statistics --Sehend1 (talk) 22:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Borders
One editor said "The present borders of the province are the artifact of the Iranian official cartography and do not correspond with the borders of historic Azarbaijan (which ended where the highlands began)." Another editor changed it to "Although the present borders of the province are compatible with natural borders of historical Azerbaijan or Atropatene, it does not correspond with the ethnic demography of Iran." Neither provided a citation for their statements. In looking at a map of Atropatene, it appears that it was not the same as current West Azarbaijan Province + East Azarbaijan Province. It went further north and west. I have requested citations for the current version, if they are not forth coming I will restore the former version which seems to be in accord with the historical maps. --Bejnar (talk) 00:32, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I suppose Bejnar didn't look at the map correctly. if you print map of media Atropatne and north west Iran it is obvious that its is bigger than east Azerbaijan, west Azerbaijan, Ardabil and Zanjan provinces. in west part it includes definitely entire West Azerbaijan province and north part of Kurdistan province including its center Sanandaj. We should not be biased to any ethnic in wikipedia. any statement should be based on history, geography and current demography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sehend1 (talk • contribs) 22:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Disputed meaning for 'west' in Azeri and Fazaei
dear Sahand Azeri script in Iran is what they call perso/Arabic script. It was Cyrilic in the republic of Azerbaijan but is changed to Latin similar to what Kurds and Turks of Turkey use. The reason was that Elchibey who changed it was a sell out. No one has ever asked Azeri epople and let stand Iranian Azeris whether or not they agree with this. I am not a fan of Arabic based alphabets either, but the official script for Azeri in Iran is this. The placenames and personal names in Iran should be written this way. sagh ol --Babakexorramdin (talk) 22:36, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Another thing is that bati Azerbaycan is not an Azeri word. it should be Gharbi Azerbaijan. Bati is Anatolian/istanbuli Turkish. You also asked why I myself use X instead of Kh. I do belive that the correct transliteration of Kh in Persian, Azeri, Kurdish and other languages of Iran is x. It is also the charachter which serves for kh in Unpipers. But again the official script in different--Babakexorramdin (talk) 23:03, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

you are free to give a transliteration but bati Azerbaycan in istanbuli Turkish is not allowed.--Babakexorramdin (talk) 00:15, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

please refrain from personal attacks and accusations. What kind of force I use? And is it me who has made alphabets? And please go and learn your language. I am also not accusing you being influenced by Israel and Panturks, so please no nonsense and accept the things as they are. No war with me.

Dear Bejnar Thanks for your message. I didn't start editing war. Babakexorramdin started it by forcing Persian script to Azeris. even we accept persian script, He added a word that is not grammatically correct in Azeri with Persian script. to solve it i added west Azerbaijan translation in Azeri in both Latin and persian scripts. i don't know why he thinks we should follow his idea to use Fazeri (a fake language which uses completely Persian words with one azeri verb at the end). For instance in Azeri similar to English adjective comes first followed by a noun. But in Farsi noun comes first. Babakexorramdin wanted to force Perisan words for west( غربی )and Azerbaijan(آذربایجان) and suggests using غربی آذربایجان. hence, we don't use غ as the first word in Azeri. --Sehend1 (talk) 22:35, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Disputed non-English names
I have removed the offending language here, pending consensus. One editor prefers:

Anyone besides Babakexorramdin and Sehend1 have an option? --Bejnar (talk) 21:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The Roman representation in each language must be kept, regardless of the degree of its use in Iran. I am not certain about Kurdish, but with Azeri, the Roman script enjoys a recognised official status throughout the world and dominates in the Azeri-language publications. Here is my suggestion:
 * (Persian: آذربایجان غربی - Āzarbāijān-e Gharbī; Azeri: قربی آذربایجان - Qərbi Azərbaycan; Kurdish: آذربایجانی روژاوه - Azerbaycanî Rojawa)
 * The word batı is not used in literary Azeri commonly, if at all. The universal word for western is qərbi. Parishan (talk) 08:49, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

 * On 18 May 2014, IP editor 79.97.186.55, with this series of edits, disrupted the ethnic numbers placed in the article by Hochvoltag, as per above. In attempting to restore the section, at 09:07, 19 May 2014, IP editor 2.177.28.52 introduced incorrect numbers with this edit. Editors Haghal Jagul and Matreeks attempted to correct this a month later without stating what they were doing, so I reverted as "ethnic edits with new source". After-the-fact, Haghal Jagul called my attention to the fact that their may have been vandalism at work here. I tracked back the original edit of Hochvoltag, and as you can verify Haghal Jagul was correct, they had been vandalised. On this basis I have restored Hochvoltag's original numbers. --Bejnar (talk) 00:01, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Ethnic bar graph
I propose deleting the Ethnic bar graph, shown below, which was added by Hochvoltag on 1 August 2013, because the source cited appears to cover metropolitan areas and not the West Azerbaijan Province, and it was published in 1971 with data for 1969 (1389 AH). Hochvoltag marked the bar graph as being 2012 data.

Based on the coverage of the provided source and the discussion above at West Azerbaijan Ethnic Composition, or at least the part in English, it appears that this data does not come from the cited publication, but from another. The cited book does appear to be one of a series, with another one covering Tehran Province (ISBN 978-600-6627-42-7) and another Qum Province (ISBN 978-600-6627-54-0), the one in that series for West Azerbaijan Province is ISBN 978-600-6627-01-4, but its data is for 1967-1968. Regardless, putting the date "2012" would be disingenuous, unless Hochvoltag purely made a mistake on the citation, and meant another source entirely. Either way, unless someone can come up with a correct citation to a reliable source, this box should be deleted. And if a reliable source is cited, the actual date of the data should be reflected in the box's title. Are there any objections to deletion? --Bejnar (talk) 05:00, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

 * The source is absolutly true. Astexx (talk) 03:09, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Agree to delete the graph . After extensive, detailed discussion about the reliability of the source in Persian Wikipedia , ( the sources are in Persian language ) , the result was not to use it in controversial articles and not to use it as graphs , because the graphic representation will be WP:UNDUE . Please look at Reliable sources/Noticeboard in Persian Wikipedia .--Alborz Fallah (talk) 18:42, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, here is not the Persian Wikipedia! Your discussion there is not appliable in English Wikipedia. The graph has a reliable source from the most important cultural administrations of Islamic Republic of Iran. Matreeks (talk) 17:58, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure it is not, but all of the source is in Persian : In the Persian Wiki noticeboard , we had a long discussion about the methodology of obtaining data and I don't think if we want to discuss it again here , the participants have the knowledge of Persian language to have the insight . And again , yes the cultural administration was publisher of the data , but the aim of the study was not understanding the ethnic composition of the population , but it was only a rough estimate about all items in general culture : that means the generalization of cluster sampling of a few urban population is not correct for a large population . --Alborz Fallah (talk) 07:54, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Citing non-English sources
I note that there are several citations that are entirely in Persian (Farsi). Wikipedia policy suggests as a guideline that when citing a non-English source, it is appropriate to provide at least a translation of the title into English. Similarly, if the source is in a non-Latin alphabet, a romanisation or transliteration of the author's name, and a romanisation/transliteration/translation of any journal title, newspaper name or publishing house is appropriate. See, in general, the policy at Wikipedia:Verifiability. --Bejnar (talk) 05:00, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Hi. I have checked the titel in persian. It is true. The romanisation is available but not in english language. Above you can see German translation of the source. the ISBN: 978-600-6627-68-7 is true and is for year 1389 (2010-2011) and publishing 1391(2012-2013). The date is in calender of Iran and is Hejri Shamsi and not Hejri Qamari! Now in Iran based of Hejri Shamsi the date is 1392(2013-2014). But in calender of Hejri qamari (arabian states) is 1435! I think it was why you have thought that the source is for year 1968. in Hejri qamari calender (is not used in Iran since 100 years) 1389 is equal to 1968 but 1389 in hejri shamsi is equal to (2010-2011). The General Culture Council of Islamic Republic of Iran has published the book in 1391 (2012-2013) and is available in book stores in Tehran. The General Culture Council of Islamic Republic of Iran has been established in 1364 (1985-1986). http://daneshnameh.irdc.ir/?p=1848 . https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%B4%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A7%DB%8C_%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%87%D9%86%DA%AF_%D8%B9%D9%85%D9%88%D9%85%DB%8C

ethnic groups section
The source is actually wrong. Some important sources have been deleted from this article and this source is written about Kurdistan province, not West Azerbaijan! There is only a small mention of the presence of Kurds in West Azerbaijan, and no investigation or research! In addition, semi-official sources have been deleted and a less reliable source has been used instead, which does not even :mention the research method. please delete the section : " On the question of linguistic majority of the province, linguist Anonby argued in 2019 that: As is the case for most other parts of Iran, there are no reliable or detailed data on language distribution in West Azerbaijan Province. A number of districts in the province are majority Azerbaijani-speaking, including the capital city of Orumieh (Urmia). Because of this – and perhaps also because of the province’s name – it is often assumed that Azerbaijani is the main language of the province as a whole. However, our own preliminary investigations of this topic, which are based on district-by-district calculations... suggest that Kurdish may in fact be the mother tongue of a slight majority of the province’s population. " Mrr.1997 (talk) 14:31, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Anonby is a leading linguist on Iran and read Primary sources for info on how to act on official and semi-official references.  Semsûrî (talk) 14:35, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
 * No one said anonby is not valid. The article given as a reference is related to Kurdistan province. On page 10, there is a small mention of West Azerbaijan and the Kurdish language in it. But this reference is not correct. In fact, when we look at the alleged reference, there is no mention of West Azerbaijan and there is no map of West Azerbaijan. So this reference is clearly wrong and not scientific. If it is going to be cited, it should be the same article that was researched about West Azerbaijan by anonby. Mrr.1997 (talk) 10:25, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Wrong source
Greetings. This article has a wrong source that has not been removed despite the previous request! It is mentioned that the majority of the province's population is Kurdish and a source is cited, but nothing like this is written on page 10 of this source! I request that this paragraph be deleted. For ethnicity, we can refer to the research of the General Council of Culture, which is somewhat official and has been cited for the rest of the provinces. Thanks. Mrr.1997 (talk) 14:10, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

 * You can find the info on note 2 on page 9. Primary references from Iranian authorities should not be used in this matter. Semsûrî (talk) 14:16, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Iran's semi-official statistics are not acceptable, but the footnote of an article about Kurdistan province is acceptable? In addition, this article does not give correct information. In fact, the correct reference was not made in this article that you posted! He inserted this paragraph based on the atlas on the language line. While the online linguistic atlas of Iran has not conducted any research on West Azerbaijan and research on the provinces of Kurdistan, Gilan, Chaharmahal Bakhtiari, etc., but there is no name from West Azerbaijan. This is the main site of Iran's online language atlas, open the link and see:
 * [Https://iranatlas.net/index.html?module=module.language-distribution.single language https://iranatlas.net/index.html?module=module.language-distribution.single_language]
 * Also, I would like to know why Iran's semi-official research results should be deleted? It means that the general discussion of culture cannot be cited, but there is a footnote to an article about Kurdistan province? The minimum condition here is to refer to both articles. With a Kurdish name, you erase everything that is against you! Mrr.1997 (talk) 01:32, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

The article used to just have a line below the bulk with the sentence "and spyware." I modified it to say "However, some believe it contains spyware."

I noticed the current version of Yahoo! Messenger has an option when you add contacts to use the Lotus Sametime network, whereas previously it was just LCS(Live Communication Server)/Windows Live(MSN)[When they were testing integration between Yahoo! and WLM], and Yahoo!, dont know if that should be added or not.

Neutrality concerns
Like a lot of pages for software products, too much of this page reads like a feature list. Also, one major contributor appears to have a conflict of interest (admits he is an "IBM marketing guy").

 * I read the tag and the article. Frankly, I don't see any problem with the article. seems concise,  factual and not at all over enthusiastic of feature promotion. Also and don't see why only 'unique' features should be mentioned. --BBird (talk) 17:22, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I have to agree with BBird on this. All instances where the product appears to be 'bigged' up are cited, and what else can be said about the product other than it's history and features? --hubare (talk) 12:47, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Being on the team that develops Sametime, I may have a biased opinion, but it looks like a regular article to me. A feature list (including features that are not unique) is important, especially if someone is using Wikipedia as a research source to decide which client to use. Would it be fair to say the only feature in Word is the Ribbon, or that all Thinkpads have going for them is their modularity? I find that hard to believe. Unless we went through all articles tagged as Instant Messengers and put all the similar features into the Instant messaging article, thus building a sort of inheritance hierarchy, we can't just not mention the features.

Ragnarok Battle Offline

Ragnarok Battle Offline is a beat 'em up game for Microsoft Windows created by dojin soft developer French-Bread. The soundtrack is composed by Raito of Lisa-Rec. It is a homage and a spoof of the massively multiplayer online role-playing game Ragnarok Online created by South Korean developer Gravity Corporation.

The game's high sales led Gravity Corporation to give it a release outside of Japan. Released as Ragnarok Battle, the game has been distributed in Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand and a deluxe package in Korea which comes with its own gamepad. Level Up! Games also released an English version of Ragnarok Battle Offline available in the Philippines, but this release is based only on the initial version of Ragnarok Battle Offline, which does not include the expansions released by French-Bread.

Since April 2007, the game has been digitally distributed through Melonbooks DL.

Gameplay
Though primarily a beat 'em up game, Ragnarok Battle Offline also contains some role-playing elements. The player creates a character from one of six basic classes and one unlockable class, allocate points to the character's stats and skills, and enter one of the stages. Up to three people can play at once, using the keyboard, joysticks or gamepads.

History
Originally, before the game was made, most of its concepts come from a flash animation called "Ragnarok Battle Online" which was made by Watanabe Manufacturing (now known as French-Bread). The animation became popular enough to gain the attention of Gravity, who commissioned the company to produce an actual game.

Schorr (crater)

Schorr is a lunar impact crater that lies across the eastern limb of the Moon. From the Earth this crater is viewed from the side, limiting the amount of detail that can be observed. The visibility of this crater is also affected by libration of the Moon in its orbit. The crater lies just to the northwest of the walled plain Curie, and to the east-southeast of the crater Gibbs.

When viewed from orbit, this appears as a circular crater with an outer rim that has not been significantly worn through impact erosion. The material along the inner walls has accumulated along the bottom of the sloping sides, forming a ledge along parts of the base. The interior floor is irregular in places, with low ridges crossing parts of the bottom. Schorr intrudes slightly into the satellite crater Schorr A to the southeast.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Schorr.

Majeed Amjad

Majeed Amjad (Punjabi, ) (29 June 1914 – 11 May 1974) was an Urdu poet from Pakistan. One newspaper described him as a "philosophical poet of depth and sensitivity". His ghazals have also been sung by various Pakistani singers.

Background
Amjad was born on 29 June 1914 in Jhang, a small town in the Pakistani province of Punjab. He was taught by his maternal grandfather. Then for a few years he studied Arabic and Persian under the supervision of his maternal grandfather Noor Muhammad at a local mosque before enrolling in first grade in a government school. He obtained his Matriculation certificate in the first division from Islamia High School, Jhang. Two years later he completed his Intermediate exam, also in the first division from Government College, Jhang. Later he moved to Lahore for higher education that was not available in Jhang. He eventually received his bachelor's degree in 1934 from Islamia College Lahore.

During the great depression economic opportunities were limited even for educated people like Amjad, who returned to Jhang and joined a weekly newspaper named Arooj. He remained as an editor of the newspaper until 1939 and regularly published his own prose and poetry. At the advent of the Second World War, a poem of his against the British Empire was printed on the front page of Arooj and he was forced to leave the newspaper. After that he found a job as a clerk in the Jhang District Board. In 1944, the government set up a civil supplies department to ration food and clothing. He passed an entrance exam and joined this department and served on with the Food Department until his retirement in 1972. He lived in many small and large towns all over Punjab during his employment with the Food Department including Lyallpur (now Faisalabad), Gojra, Muzaffargarh, Rawalpindi, Arifwala, Lahore and Montgomery. In 1939 he married his cousin, a school teacher, but they had different opinions and divorced. Amjad lived the last 28 years in Sahiwal, while his wife stayed in Jhang. He spent last days of life in Farid Town Sahiwal where He died on 11 May 1974.He was buried in lolly Shah Graveyard Jhang.

Literary career
Amjad's first collection of poetry, Shab-e-Rafta, was published in 1958 for which he wrote a preface in verse. This was published by Naya Idara in Lahore and was the only collection published in his lifetime even though he had written steadily throughout his life. After his death, the manuscripts of his unpublished poetry were preserved by Javaid Qureshi who was then the deputy commissioner of Sahiwal. In 1976, Javaid Qureshi and others published a second collection of his poetry titled Shab-e-Rafta Ke Baad. It was not until 1989 that the Urdu critic Khawaja Muhammad Zakariya edited and published a complete collection of his works called Kuliyat-e-Majeed Amjad. Samira Gilani has published several articles on Majid Amjad's poems at the universities of Tehran and Punjab.

Wright (lunar crater)

Wright is a lunar impact crater that is located near the western limb of the Moon. It lies on the irregular plain between the Montes Cordillera and Montes Rook, two ring-shaped mountain ranges that surround the Mare Orientale. Just to the southeast of the crater is the slightly larger crater Shaler. To the north of Wright is the crater Pettit.

The outer rim of Wright is somewhat irregular, with an outward bulge along the northeastern side. The rim is sharp-edged, and the inner walls have slumped down to form a shelf along parts of the side. The interior floor is uneven surfaced, particularly in the eastern half. The satellite crater Wright A lies about half a crater diameter to the south-southwest, along the edge of the Montes Cordillera.

Due to the location of this crater, it is viewed nearly edge-on from Earth, limiting the amount of detail that can be seen. In addition, this crater can sometimes become hidden from sight due to libration of the Moon in its orbit.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Wright.

Talk:Antigenic shift

Viral shift
viral shift should link back here.

About risk of pandemic
"In 2004, scientists pointed out that the avian influenza virus might undergo an antigenic shift with the human flu virus and cause a global influenza pandemic like the one in 1918." The condition for that is there to be an epidemic as the one of influenza type A concomitant with infection of the birds (H5N1 virus). Berton 18:24, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Death statistic inflated
The stated death toll on this page for the Spanish flu is inflated to 40-100 million dead, Whereas on the Spanish flu page, and in all research I've done, the toll was around 20-40 million (see Breslow, L. (2002). Encyclopedia of public health. New York: Pearson Education, Inc.)

Citations needed
Citations are needed in the first paragraph, where it is stated that the term "antigenic shift" is specific to influenza literature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.204.15.239 (talk) 14:17, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Antigenic shift is not unique to influenza
This was previously corrected, but some idiot reverted the changes —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danfoste (talk • contribs) 00:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

File:AntigenicShift HiRes.svg to appear as POTD soon
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:AntigenicShift HiRes.svg will be appearing as picture of the day on May 19, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-05-19. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks!  howcheng  {chat} 19:13, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Image does not show antigenic shift
Does the image really illustrate antigenic shift? To me it looks like it just illustrates 'genetic reassortment' (meaning that segments coding for receptors are not necessarily influenced). The antigens on the new strain (orange and purple are the same as the original avian strain. Antigenic would be a mixture of both avian and human strain; purple and blue /orange and yellow. 2001:638:804:2090:FDBC:DCC2:DAE7:AF7D (talk) 10:58, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

I think the above reader is correct. The receptor layer shows no change. Here is a good article to illustrate the point. https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/biology-of-viruses/virus-biology/a/evolution-of-viruses — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.135.141 (talk) 08:17, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

The Noel Redding Band

The Noel Redding Band (also known as The Clonakilty Cowboys after the title of its first album, Clonakilty Cowboys) was an English-Irish folk rock supergroup that was formed in Clonakilty, County Cork, in 1974. Comprising the bass guitarist, rhythm guitarist and vocalist Noel Redding (formerly of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Fat Mattress and Road), the vocalist and keyboard player Dave Clarke, the lead guitarist Eric Bell (formerly of Thin Lizzy and Them) and the drummer Les Sampson (formerly of Road), the band released two albums – Clonakilty Cowboys (1975) and Blowin' (1976) – before disbanding in 1978.

History

After Fat Mattress split up in 1970, Redding joined the Los Angeles-based group Road, which released an album, Road, before disbanding in 1972. Following this, Redding decided to form an eponymous band, again working with Road's drummer Sampson. Redding also hired Clarke and, later, Bell, who at first expressed doubts about the quality of Redding's written material.

During a break following the release of a second album in 1976, Sampson left and was replaced by Dave Donovan (ex-Roy Wood). This incarnation of the band toured Holland and disbanded in late 1978.

Like other bands formed by Redding, it was relatively short-lived, releasing two albums in 1975 and 1976 before splitting up in 1978. Tracks recorded for a third, unreleased album were later released as The Missing Album on Mouse Records.

Redding once suggested in an interview that The Clonakilty Cowboys was the band which gave him "the most pleasure".
