Talk:The Surfaris

Untitled
Surfaris Jim Fuller is known as the Godfather of Surf Music / Surfguitar I have heard him with the Surfaris and Jim Fuller and The Beatnik. He is a fabulous musician and is guitar playing is a true pleasure to the ear!

 * What's the source for this claim? I'd be happy to put it into the article if it has a legitimate source.THX1136 (talk) 20:52, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

I can be a source for anything related to The Surfaris. My dad was the late Jim Fuller, who, with Pat Connally, founded The Surfaris and was a playing member from 61’ - 66’ then again in 81’- 17’ when he passed and I put band on temp hiatus. I helped my dad with managing the band after returning from the Navy in 93’. Not to be confused with Bob Berryhill’s band he started at the end of 2000 with his family and re-used the band’s name. Only this band released over 200 records & International edits and toured worldwide with other band’s like Beach Boys, Chantays, & The Ventures. Unfortunately Berryhill’s memory of how everything started with the band and recording is quite a bit different than Pat Connally’s Jim Pash’s or my dad’s. I’m actually knee deep in trying to correct years worth of false information by Berryhill and others regarding Wipeout and The Surfaris. Pighammer333 (talk) 01:36, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

 * I agree, if you are Jims son, then I remember you. I managed the Fuller/Pash version of the band between 86-88. This wiki page ignored much of the history from this lineup of the band, including when I got us the gig with Columbia Pictures for the New Gidget Show in `87 and recorded the song 'Bred to Shred' for the show. I think the writers of the song included Glen Ballard Glen Ballard and another guy I worked with at MCA records some time ago. Jpr2000 (talk) 20:38, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Re-entry
"Wipe out" re-entered the US charts in October, 1966. 83.87.140.201 (talk) 00:25, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

As I recall, Jim Pash told me Wipe Out made it to top 10 status three times. Would have to be verified though. I managed the band for a couple years and I noticed that there is no mention of the recording we did called Bred to Shred, which was for The New Gidget Show. I also had the band appear in the episode performing the song. We did two versions of the song, one (a punkier version) was played on I think 102.1 in San Diego when we did a show for them in Oceanside, CA; and the other ( a 60's sounding version was used in 'The New Gidget Show' (Jpr2000 (talk) 16:35, 3 May 2015 (UTC))

Band Members info
Since it appears, according to the article, that there is no group specifically called the Safaris should all the members be classified as past members? If Berryhill's group qualifies as the Safaris should his wife and son be included in current members with Jim Fuller being removed from that category? I'm not certain of the protocol for this and would appreciate some guidance. Thanks!THX1136 (talk) 20:57, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Classical era
Perhaps also deserves some mention of North African philosophers in the classical era? -- Jmabel | Talk 19:01, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)

Yes — in fact it needs much more, in many respects. This was just meant to be a start. When I get time I'll start adding some of what's missing. As regards modern philosophy, I'm OK on the Anglo-American-influenced side, but I'm completely incomprehending when it comes to the Francophone stuff. I'll get going on the Classical philosophers though. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 19:22, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

OK, I've sketched an introduction (which needs more work), and prepared for an historical survey. That will doubtless have to mention the business of Black Athena (a brief mention, I hope), but should focus on actual philosophers, mainly from North Africa (there's a question, of course, as to whether Hellenic Egyptians should count, but I'd be inclined to err on the side of inclusion). The middle period is probably going to be quite thin, but perhaps some references to ethnophilosophy and philosophical sagacity will fill it out a bit. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 21:56, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * This is good. I'd probably take out "with some reason", unless you can attribute it, and any other similar commentary. I was interested to see Peter J. King had a Wikipedia article. He's written some nice poetry. SlimVirgin 09:57, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)

 * The "with some reason" was based on a number of comments made by various philosophers (it's a common complaint among African philosophers); I'll have to track some down and give a direct quotation (they're all in the reading that I've added). (Oh, and looking at Peter J. King. I notice that you've made his "Early life" take him up to thirty-nine; there's hope for us all...) Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 13:15, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Changed to Background. ;-) Do you happen to know whether this is him? If so, I thought I might use it provided it enlarges without blurring. SlimVirgin 13:31, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)

 * No — I know who all of those people are with exception of the woman on the left. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 13:48, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * The guy in the pink shirt is quite attractive. I was looking forward to e-mailing him about his photograph. Pity . . . ;-) SlimVirgin 22:59, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)

 * I should claim that it's me, but in all honesty I can't. In fact, when I looked closer I realised that I wasn't sure who he was after all.  I've asked one or two people who might know; I'll get back to you (with his e-mail address?) if I find anything. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 12:49, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

POV question
The passage that begins, "The main objection raised to this sort of approach is that the actual philosophical work…": I agree, but in the article, who is raising this objection? As it reads, it seems like the narrative voice of the article is raising it, which is clearly POV. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:57, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * i agree. i attributed the text for now ... it would be nice to get a published philosopher expressing those ideas ... Ungtss 06:34, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Ungtss, is the redlinked Bantu Philosophy a book title? If so, it should be italicized (and probably added as a reference, with publication information. If not, the sentence where it appears is hard to parse. -- Jmabel | Talk 15:29, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes -- it's a book -- i'll italicise it. Thanks.  Ungtss 21:30, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The main source was the text acknowledged in the article (the King). Incidentally, first, the quotation marks were in keeping with Wikipedia style, and secondly, someone has changed the punctuation from Wikipedia style (commas, etc., outside quotation marks unless they're part of the quotation). It's a bit irritating to have to change them all back. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 21:23, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This article misses the point
I think a lot of confusion and stumbling over words could be saved on this page by simply mentioning the African Diaspora as central topic of African philosophy and adding some context with regards to racism and colonialism. Right now it reads like the work of a bemused late 19th century anthropologist. It's high handed, contemptuous and totally unacceptable. futurebird 04:03, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

without a written language?
From the section on Sub-Saharan Africa:

''We start with yet another distinction: that between philosophers and philosophy. Paulin J. Hountondji has argued that, without a written language: “thousands of Socrates could never have given birth to Greek philosophy... so thousands of philosophers without written works could never have given birth to an African philosophy”''

I don't know if it makes sense to lead with this when Sub-Saharan Africa has had written language since at least 800 AD. We just don't know how to read it and much of it has been destroyed. Or, at least, this objection could be added. futurebird 06:04, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

one word Ge'ez or is this my imagaination how people speak around a script used by 60 million people.--Halaqah 02:53, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Daniel Montano - philosophy doesn't have to be written, it may be expressed in artifacts, dances, religion, beliefs, narratives, folklore, language, and lifestyle (e.g. nomadic) - See: "African Philosophy": http://uxdtools.com/books_2006/thought/thought_00001.html —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Letranova (talk • contribs).

Race card needed and valid here
Once again a bunch or racist reassertions. Am What happened to Ethiopia? And Songhai and Sokoto thinkers, Uthman Dan fodio ? The thing about racist assumptions is they are so locked in themselves that they miss facts staring them in the face, lame runarounds skipping all kinds of tradition and written works because still they say "no script in Africa" what the h"ll is Ge'ez then?--Halaqah 01:58, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I wish I had a background on this topic, and I wish I had time, but I will be back---Halaqah 01:58, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Monism
Why is monism listed in the "see also" section? The only mention of Africa in the monism article is a mutula "see also" back to this article. So some editor apparently thinks they are related, but neither article gives any indication of the nature of that relation. - Jmabel | Talk 04:13, 9 October 2006 (UTC) It has been removed as you are correct.--Halaqah 02:52, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Is this page a JOKE!
There is at least one example of a pre-modern sub-Saharan philosopher in Omoregbe's sense What does that mean? U searched the whole world and found a "pre-modern Sub-Saharan philips.." Wow but does he speaks goodie English too, and can he say his name? wow! like i said i am watching this page and when i return it gun git cleanz up. Yes masa i am gonna clean it up.--Halaqah 02:41, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

 * If that was intended to communicate anything other than that you don't like the article (I don't think much of it either), it went by me without registering. - Jmabel | Talk 20:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I have added some references. I have also added a link to a site with a large bibliography showing that there is a lot of stuff missing here. Also, there might be a lot of pre-modern philosophical writing from Ethiopia (Ge'ez). Ány expert around here? There is definitely a lot of philosophical work in African Islamic philosophy from the time of the university of Timbuktu etc. But instead of lamenting about the article, let us just work on improving it. Nannus 20:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

There seems to be this notion that sub-saharan Africa did not have written language and thereby could not have produce philosophy, Eurocentrism at its crudest. People need to be reminded that although writing was not widespread, sub-saharan Africa did have written language and literate societies while most of Europe was backwards and primitive. Sub-saharan Africa had literature before Europe with the exception of Greece(Nubia case in point). The Mali empire, Songhay empire, Nubia, Axum, and the Swahili states were all literate sub-saharan societies. Omniposcent (talk) 09:46, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks but apart the diverse nubian kingdoms from the ancient time (axoum, kush, etc...) majority of Africa didn't have writing system before the arab and european invasion. Timbuktu wasn't an university

Timbuktu was a university. ScottsdalePrincess (talk) 03:35, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Kawaida
Is Kawaida really African philosophy? (Just a question) Please discuss. Nannus 20:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC) yes it is karenga wrote a massive book Maat the moral something, which shows the philophocal synth of kawaida. it basically draws from African tradition a philosophy for liberation,--HalaTruth(ሐላቃህ) 21:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * From the Ron Karenga article, it does not become clear that Kawaida is African philosophy. It should be elaborated. From that article, on gets the impression that Karenga just mad up his own philophy and then translated some of the terms into Kiswahili. If not only the words but actually the ideas are derived from Africa, then this should be explained either in the Karenga article or better in a separate Kawaida article. I find the redirection of the term Kawaida to the African Philosophy article questionable. More work should be done on this subject. Nannus 17:32, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't know whether Kawaida is African philosophy or not, but I agree with Nannus that it should have its own page and not just redirect to African philosophy since it has been quite influential. There is a long page on Kwanzaa which is good but Kawaida, from what I understand, is very much the philosophical and spiritual underpinning of this holiday.

 * Incidentally I don't know what to do with this page, but it does seem to be a bit of a disaster and maybe should not even exist given that there is no page for European philosophy (it redirects to "continental philosophy" which is far more specific) or Asian philosophy (which redirects to "Eastern philosophy" and largely deals with traditions from China, India, and Japan). I would think the philosophical traditions of Africa (and presumably  Egypt should be mentioned here!) are too diverse to be folded under one article.  It might make more sense, assuming this gets developed more, to have a portal page on "African philosophies" instead.  But now I'll cop out and say that I am completely unqualified to do anything like that or to even put in any work on this article!  Sorry.  I do hope someone steps up and creates a Kawaida article though.--Bigtimepeace | talk |  contribs 19:53, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

 * This "Kawaida" is definitely not an African philosophy. It is something authored by an American in America. Would this not be a subpage for "American Philosophy" or "Philosophy in America"? Besides the whole text of this paragraph is just a literal copy of the first paragraph of [Mr. Karengas "US" organization Website]. --Kipala (talk) 16:58, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

African Diaspora?
Do you think this page should be a part of WP:AFRO, the wikiproject for the African Diaspora? futurebird 21:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Template:PanAfrican
The article contains the Template:PanAfrican. I had changed this template because it is very badly designed. On the template's talk page, I had written the following: "This Template is very badly designed. I came here from the page on African Philosophy, on which the template is included. The template contains some links relevant to African philosophy, like, e.g. a link to Cheikh Anta Diop. Since the main contains a link to the article about him already, ther is no need to have a second reference in the template. On the other hand, the template contains links to articles irrelevant to the topic of African Philosophy. There should not be, for example, a link from the African Philosophy article to the Kwanzaa article since Kwanzaa is neither an African thing (it is a part of Afroamerican culture, not of African culture) nor is it a philosophical topic. So why should this link be there. The informativeness of Wikipedia depends to a great deal on the relevance of the links. So for each article containing this template, the links are either redundant because they should be in the main article already or they are irrelevant. As a result, all of these links should be removed from the template. If these things are relevant for panafricanism, the should be referenced from the panafricanism artilce and that would be enough. Therefore, I have removed all of these links from the template. This template in its current form is a prime example of what a template should not be. Please note that this is a structural argument, saying nothing about the value of panafricanism. It would apply as well to any other template of this type." I had than deleted those links from the template. However, somebody reverted my change, so all those links are back. I suppose that most of these links do not belong in the African Philosophy article. Consequently, I am going to delete this template from the article. I think such templates destroy the structore of wikipedia by creating irrelevant links. Nannus 17:19, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Comment: On African Philosophy
The first modern Course on African Philosophy was taught in Canada by Marcus Garvey in 1937. In 2001, students of African philosophy updated this course by adding a timeline of African philosophy: through antiquity, the classical period, and the contemporary period. Each of these three periods list the philosopher, the school of thought they're associated with, the language that they wrote their original philosophies in,as well as and the philosophical problems of that given era. These results were published in an academic journal called Imhotep Magazine in a special issue entitled 'On African Philosophy", edited by Theophile Obenga. To say the least, African Philosophy is a highly active field of research around the world, older documents are often recovered and new philosophers and ideas are added to the time line.

There's also a book in English: "African Philosophy: The Pharoanic Period. 2800BC-330AD" So for those adept Wikipedians interested in writing an accurate statement on African Philosophy on Wikipedia, let us correspond, as I am a bit new to Wikipedia but I do have access to vital resources on african philosophy, primary and secondary, useful to this project. Otherwise, what is gathered so far on Wikipedia in regards to African Philosophy is a crude attempt at best. Seqoyah bey 10:49, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Circularity?

 * African philosophy is any philosophy done by Africans or by people of African descent, or others engaged in the realm of African philosophy.

Is it really meaningful to say that "African philosophy is any philosophy done by [people] engaged in the realm of African philosophy"? seems pretty circular to me. 65.213.77.129 (talk) 18:10, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Very true, the article is sub-standard. --Halqh حَلَقَة הלכהሐላቃህ (talk) 09:05, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Very poor, poor did I say poor standard
This article needs an expert, it isnt even an article. I dont know this topic but I know it is poor.--Halqh حَلَقَة הלכהሐላቃህ (talk) 09:05, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * And it's a mass of copyright violations as well. EEng (talk) 23:22, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Pre-Modern Section
The section on pre-modern African philosophy needs to be entirely re-written, if not deleted. Someone attempts to demonstrate that there were "philosophers" (in the hopelessly broad definition being used) by appealing to the fact that honour and hubris were discussed in the Iliad. It's a blatant non-sequitur. Furthermore, the philosophers who are mentioned in this section are either Islamic philosophers or (bizarrely) Augustine of Hippo. Islamic philosophy is an area unto itself which doesn't need to be discussed here, and the only mentioned link between Augustine and Africa is that he happened to write something while in (North) Africa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.104.213.13 (talk) 20:26, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Community Service Society of New York

The Community Service Society of New York (CSS) is an independent, nonprofit organization established in 1939. Originally formed as a charity providing direct assistance to the poor, its mission has evolved include research and advocacy as well as legal and informational support services for other organizations that work with low-income individuals. It is one of the seven organizations supported by The New York Times' "Neediest Cases Fund".

History
The Community Service Society was formed in 1939 by the merger of two of New York City's most prominent social welfare organizations, the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, organized in 1843 and incorporated in 1848, and the Charity Organization Society, founded in 1882.

Purpose
CSS tackles poverty on many fronts, bringing a unique perspective to the field of urban poverty. From Government agencies to elected officials; from grass roots advocacy groups to major media outlets, CSS works to raise awareness about, and provide solutions to the problems facing low-income New Yorkers.

The Community Service Society:
 * Conducts research that helps shape public policies concerning poverty.
 * Advocates for low-income New Yorkers at all levels of government.
 * Provides direct services and technical assistance to individuals and organizations.
 * Engages volunteers who help build stronger communities.

Programs
CSS works independently and in coalition with other organizations on issues of urban poverty in the areas of health care, affordable housing, the labor market, public benefit programs and properly financed public education. The coexistence of CSS's program and policy work have resulted in the creation of model programs such as the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). Conceived on Staten Island in 1967 with 23 volunteers, RSVP now is one of the largest volunteer programs for older adults in the United States, with 9 000 men and women volunteering in agencies throughout the city.

CSS has also engaged in Community development initiatives: Through employment projects, tenant associations, health care and civic participation that engaged the residents in finding innovative ways to fortify their community, the Gates Avenue project helped to revitalize a neighborhood in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.

CSS's Social Services Department serves individuals, families and seniors who are undergoing a temporary emergency with a range of services from eviction prevention, financial assistance to housing and job searches.

In November 2009, CSS acquired City Limits Magazine.

Callahan's Lady

Callahan's Lady (1989) is a science fiction novel by American writer Spider Robinson, the fourth in his Callahan's Crosstime Saloon series. It is made up of 11 vignettes, all revolving around a bar and brothel owned by Lady Sally McGee, wife of Mike Callahan. The stories are written in the same fast-paced, pun-laced prose Robinson is noted for.

Plot
The storyline focuses on Maureen, an underage streetwalker who is stabbed by her pimp in a dark alley one night. Fortunately for Maureen, Lady Sally is nearby: she had been walking her werebeagle. After defeating the pimp in hand-to-hand combat, Sally brings Maureen home. Her brothel has a fully functioning medical facility, where Maureen is treated and healed.

She falls in love with the place for its ambiance and safety but is rejected as an employee for many reasons. Most importantly, she is underage but she also has severe self-loathing issues. Lady Sally enjoys the fact that Maureen comes to accept and befriend the werebeagle and a talking German Shepherd but this is not enough let the main character stay.

Maureen's old pimp tracks down the brothel and puts many of the visitors in danger. Maureen uses her wits to help defeat the man; this convinces Sally to let her stay in a non-sexual context. The plot skips to Maureen becoming eighteen, she is allowed to take on sexual duties.

The rest of the plot focuses on three different subsequent incidents. There is 'Colt', a client with an unusual addiction that nobody seems to notice, one that presents various threats. Later, Maureen and her close friend Phillip swiftly realize that they are doing many things they do not wish to do over the course of their work-day. The concept of 'being forced into it' is something that Lady Callahan and her staff oppose in many, varied ways. Maureen and Phillip find that they are keeping quiet about this, even though they wish to tell everyone possible.

The last incident focuses on Maureen's old friend, the Professor, who needs fifty thousand quick or he will die horribly. A very specific, very counterfeit fifty thousand.

Like other books in the Callahan series, puns are a focus, sometimes seriously.

It Means Everything

It Means Everything is the debut studio album of American rock band Save Ferris; it was released on September 9, 1997, through Epic Records and Starpool Records. Save Ferris formed in 1995 after its members appeared in other bands. Vocalist Monique Powell became the band's manager because of her connections in the Orange County music scene. Following the release of their debut EP Introducing Save Ferris (1996), they received radio airplay on KROQ-FM, after which the EP sold 12,000 copies. The band performed at the Grammy Awards, which led to them signing with Epic Records. Their debut album was mostly recorded at NRG and The Hook studios, in Hollywood, Los Angeles, between April and June 1997. It Means Everything is a ska album that includes influences from swing music and has been compared with the works of American band No Doubt.

Music critics gave It Means Everything generally favorable reviews; some reviewers focused on the album's quality and others on the contributions from Powell and guitarist Brian Mashburn. The album sold 13,366 copies in its first week and peaked at number 75 on the Billboard 200. Save Ferris promoted the album with performances on the Warped Tour and through touring with Goldfinger, the Offspring, and Sugar Ray. A cover of the Dexys Midnight Runners track "Come On Eileen" (1982) was released as the lead single in October 1997 and the second single "Goodbye" was released at the end of the year. Following a European tour, "The World Is New" was released as a single in May 1998. After this, drummer Marc Harismendy left the band and was replaced by Evan Kilborne. "Superspy" was issued as the album's last single in August 1998.

Background
While studying at Fullerton College in Fullerton, California, Monique Powell joined the bands Larry and the Shanties. After Los Pantalones broke up in 1995, former members guitarist Brian Mashburn, bassist Bull Uechi, saxophonist Eric Zamora, and trumpeter José Castellaños formed a new band with a new vocalist. When the vocalist left, the other members considered engaging Powell, who they knew from shows with Larry. Despite not previously being a lead vocalist, Powell agreed to join the band on the condition everyone was committed to the band because she wanted to work full-time in the music industry after she quit attending Fullerton. The trombonist left because he did not want to be committed, and was replaced by T-Bone Willy of the Nuckle Brothers, who was a friend of Powell. Drummer Marc Harismendy joined afterwards.

The band was named Save Ferris after the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986). Powell, who had connections in the Orange County music scene because of being in Larry and her contact with Reel Big Fish, became the band's manager. The band's profile quickly rose; they reached headlining status at a point that angered other long-time bands. Save Ferris recorded their debut Extended Play (EP) Introducing Save Ferris (1996) after Powell's sister paid for the studio sessions. The EP released through Starpool Records, the band's own label. and was planned to be promoted with "The World Is New" in early 1997. Despite their work not being distributed at the time of its release, the EP gained radio play on KROQ-FM. Although they were unable to keep up with demand, the EP sold 12,000 copies.

Signing and recording
Save Ferris performed at a Grammy Awards showcase for bands and won the final round of the competition, which took place in New York City in February 1997. Senior vice-president of artists and repertoire (A&R) at Epic Records David Massey witnessed this and decided to sign the band, saying it was "one of those spontaneous things. They simply drove the crowd wild." Powell was dismissive, saying since California-based band No Doubt were having success, "all of these A&R guys had very little creativity [on who to sign next]. They were looking for the next female in ska or whatever." After signing in March 1997, the label re-issued Introducing Save Ferris. When radio stations in Southern California asked about a live recording of their cover version of Dexys Midnight Runners' 1982 hit "Come On Eileen", the reception of it saw the band recording for their debut studio album.

It Means Everything was largely recorded at NRG and The Hook studios, in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, between April and June 1997. "The World Is New" was recorded at Front Page Studios in Burbank, California and The Hook; along with "Superspy", "Sorry My Friend", "Spam" and "Under 21", "The World Is New" was re-recorded during the sessions. Collins produced the tracks except for "The World Is New", which the band and Craig Nepp produced, and "Come On Eileen", which Collins produced with Clive Goddard and the band. Goddard did additional production on most of the songs and acted as engineer during recording. Orchestration was recorded at Sonics studio in London, England, with engineering by Mat Clark. Goddard mixed the album at Record Plant in Hollywood; Greg Collins, Steve Mixdorf, Kenji Nakai and Lisa Lewis served as secondary engineers. Stephen Marcussen then mastered the album at Precision Mastering.

Composition and lyrics
Jennifer Clay of Wall of Sound compared It Means Everything to the sound of No Doubt and said Powell is "more of a long-lost Andrews sister than a Gwen Stefani clone". AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine said Save Ferris tried to differentiate from their ska-punk contemporaries by incorporating elements of swing music, which he thought was adapted from the work of the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Clay also acknowledged the swing connection, adding with a touch of power pop, "this young gang of seven has created its own ska hybrid". Nude as the News writer David Thomas said the album is "short on punk, sticking to an elemental version of ska"; he said the horn section "itself doesn't try to imitate guitars" as members of Less Than Jake do, instead styling "themselves after big bands from the swing age" of the 1920s and 1930s. Paul Hampton played Hammond organ and electric piano on "Nobody But Me", "Goodbye", "Sorry My Friend", "Lies" and "Little Differences" while Kid Tracy played tenor and baritone saxophone. Clay noted the lyrics involve "meat by-products, spies, and the woes of relationships".

"Nobody But Me" displays Powell's vocal range. "Superspy" is a swing track in the vein of Poi Dog Pondering, on which Powell duets with Mashburn. Save Ferris' version of "Come On Eileen" shifts towards ska compared to the Dexys Midnight Runners original; the staff at Billboard said Save Ferris have a "deft way of serving from jittery guitars to sunny horns" with tempo changes as the "verses dart from a breathtaking pogo pace to the more shoulder-shaking rate of the chorus". Powell became enamored with the song when she was eight years old and was adamant about the band covering it. "Lies" and "Everything I Want to Be" feature string orchestration, the former composed by Simon Warner and Richard Benbow, and the latter by Benbow alone. The orchestration consisted of violinists Howard Gott and Laura Williams, violaist Naomi Fairhurst and cellist Ed Jeffries. Clay said "Lies" "seduces [the listener] with a well-placed string backdrop and horns that seem to weep along with Powell's voice". "Spam", which includes additional vocals from the Starpool Elementary School Choir, is a homage to the food of the same name, which is manufactured by Hormel Foods Corporation. "Under 21" discusses a woman trying to get into a concert for nothing. According to Willy, the band, who do not wish to exclude younger audiences, try to avoid performing at clubs that restrict shows to patrons 21 and older.

Release
It Means Everything was released during the third wave of ska on September 9, 1997, through Epic and Starpool Records. Bradley Bambarger of Billboard wrote Save Ferris would come to define the "sound of young America on the radio this year" alongside other ska acts The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Sublime and Reel Big Fish. The following month, Save Ferris embarked on a US tour supporting Goldfinger and Kara's Flowers. The album was subsequently promoted with an appearance on Warped Tour alongside performances with The Offspring, Sugar Ray and other acts. "Come On Eileen" was released as a single on October 20, 1997; the US edition included mixes of the song titled "For You" and "night mix", while the French version also included a "day mix" of "Come On Eileen". "Goodbye" was released to modern rock radio stations in the US in early December 1997. In April 1998, the band toured Europe. "The World Is New" was released as a single in Europe with live versions of "Spam" and "Artificial Life", and Operation Ivy cover, as its B-sides. "The World Is New" was released to modern rock radio stations in the US the following month. By June 1998, Harismendy had left the band, saying he wanted to be at home in Artesia, California. He was replaced by Mindrot member Evan Kilborne, who the band met through Home Grown. "Superspy" was released to modern rock stations in August 1998.

Reception
Music critics gave It Means Everything generally favorable reviews; some critics focused on the overall quality of the album. The staff at E! Online said the album is a "wild and wacky trip" that "never stops long enough to take a breath". They concluded there is a "definite lack of weight to [the sound of] Save Ferris, however sweet and charming they may be". Pitchfork contributor James P. Wisdom said the album "knocked my socks off" and "pulled me awake with its clean bouncin' groove". Clay was equally enthusiastic about the album, saying "these catchy, infectious numbers teem with enough quirky style to sway even the most stationary" of listeners. Erlewine noted similar to their peers, Save Ferris have a "tendency to wallow in smirking 'irony' ... which may sound good in concert, but it sinks on record".

Other critics singled out Powell's and Mashburn's contributions. Erlewine highlighted Powell for her "energy and charisma", and Mashburn for his ability to compose a hook, citing "The World Is New" and "Superspy" as examples. Thomas said Mashburn's "strictly ska guitar work makes It Means Everything stand out with its own style" and also praised Powell for her voice, which he said is "sultry at times, but more often pleasantly sweet". Megan Frampton of CMJ New Music Report wrote Save Ferris's "strongest attribute is Powell's vocals, and armed with them, this group can no doubt succeed where few ska bands have".

It Means Everything peaked at number 75 on the Billboard 200, selling 13,366 copies in its first week of release. By October 1997, it had shifted 90,000 copies.

Date change?
According to "The History of Ophthalmology" by Daniel Albert and Diane Edwards (pg.200), the amsler grid was introduced in 1928. Thought someone who knows how to really use this system should make the change. Thanks.75.15.16.130 00:13, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Why not colour?
If the blue-yellow colour version is "better", why can't we include it? It's simple enough to draw one, I'm happy to do it. But some detail. Is it blue-yellow or cyan-yellow? Yellow lines on blue or blue lines on yellow? 06:21, 18 March 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Old wombat (talk • contribs)

Iverni

The Iverni (Ἰούερνοι, Iouernoi) were a people of early Ireland first mentioned in Ptolemy's 2nd century Geography as living in the extreme south-west of the island. He also locates a "city" called Ivernis (Ἰουερνίς, Iouernis) in their territory, and observes that this settlement has the same name as the island as a whole, Ivernia (Ἰουερνία, Iouernia). It was probably once the name given to all the peoples of Ireland, but by Ptolemy's time had a more restricted usage applicable to the inhabitants of the south-west. These Iverni can be identified linguistically with the Érainn (Éraind, Érnai, Érna), a people attested in Munster and elsewhere in the early Middle Ages.

The prehistoric Érainn royal dynasties are sometimes referred to as the Dáirine.

Etymology
The name Iverni has been derived from Archaic Irish *Īwernī meaning "folk of *Īweriū " (the island of Ireland). This is in turn derived from Proto-Celtic *Φīwerjon- and further from Proto-Indo-European *piHwerjon- (the fertile land), which is cognate with the Ancient Greek píeira and Sanskrit pīvara, which refer to fertile land. John T. Koch writes it was probably once the name given to all the peoples of Ireland, but by Ptolemy's time had a more restricted usage applicable to the inhabitants of the south-west.

Historical septs
In early Irish genealogical tracts the Érainn are regarded as an ethnic group, distinct from the Laigin and Cruthin. Population groups in Munster classed as Érainn include the Corcu Loígde in southwest County Cork, the Múscraige in Counties Cork and Tipperary, the Corcu Duibne in County Kerry, and the Corcu Baiscinn in west County Clare. The Dál Riata and Dál Fiatach (or Ulaid) in Ulster are also considered Érainn. The Érainn appear to have been a powerful group in the proto-historic period, but in early historical times were largely reduced to politically marginal status, with the notable exception of the enigmatic Osraige. The most important of the Munster Érainn, the Corcu Loígde, retained some measure of prestige even after they had become marginalised by the Eóganachta in the 7th or 8th century. It is likely that the sometimes powerful Uí Liatháin and their close kin the Uí Fidgenti originally belonged to the Érainn/Dáirine as well, but were later counted among the Eóganachta for political reasons. Another prominent Érainn people of early Munster are believed to have been the Mairtine, who by the early historical period have completely vanished from the Irish landscape, although they may be in part ancestral to the later Déisi Tuisceart and Dál gCais. The Déisi Muman may also have had Érainn origins, but this has long been disputed.

Dáire: Darini, Dáirine
It seems likely the Iverni were related to the Darini of eastern Ulster. The name "Darini" implies descent from an ancestor called Dáire, (*Dārios) as claimed by several historical peoples identified as Érainn, including the Dál Riata and Dál Fiatach in eastern Ulster as well as the Érainn of Munster. An early name for Dundrum, County Down, is recorded as Dún Droma Dáirine, and the name Dáirine was applied to the Corcu Loígde, further suggesting a relationship between the Darini and the Iverni.

Érainn: Clanna Dedad
The genealogies trace the descent of the Érainn from two separate eponymous ancestors, Ailill Érann and Íar mac Dedad. Legendary relatives of the latter include the Cland Dedad (offspring of Deda mac Sin), a Munster people who appear in the Ulster Cycle, led by Cú Roí, son of Dáire mac Dedad, and the legendary High King Conaire Mór, grandson of Iar and ancestor of the Síl Conairi. The historical sept of the Uí Maicc Iair ("grandsons of the son of Iar") and the MAQI IARI of ogham inscriptions also appear to be related. The personal name Iar is simply another variant of the root present in Iverni and Érainn. Finally, the name Íth, given in the genealogies as the ultimate ancestor of the Corcu Loígde (Dáirine) and offering some confusion about their parentage and relation to the Iverni, in fact preserves the same Indo-European root *peiH- ("to be fat, swell"), thus in effect completing a basic picture of the Iverni/Érainn and their kindred in later historical Ireland.

O'Rahilly's theory
Ivernic is a hypothetical language proposed by T. F. O'Rahilly. He suggested that it was an unattested P-Celtic (probably Brittonic) language spoken in Ireland before Old Irish. He suggested this language was spoken by the Iverni, and that they invaded Ireland from Britain, bringing with them the language. O'Rahilly identifies two words recorded in the Sanas Cormaic as coming from Ivernic: ond ("stone") and fern ("anything good").

His theory has been refuted and is not widely accepted by experts. Furthermore, by the proto-historic period, the Iverni were evidently Goidelic-speaking, as ogham inscriptions in Archaic Irish are most plentiful in southwestern Ireland, the territory of the Iverni.

Albert Claude

Albert Claude (24 August 1899 – 22 May 1983) was a Belgian-American cell biologist and medical doctor who shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1974 with Christian de Duve and George Emil Palade. His elementary education started in a comprehensive primary school at Longlier, his birthplace. He served in the British Intelligence Service during the First World War, and got imprisoned in concentration camps twice. In recognition of his service, he was granted enrolment at the University of Liège in Belgium to study medicine without any formal education required for the course. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1928. Devoted to medical research, he initially joined German institutes in Berlin. In 1929 he found an opportunity to join the Rockefeller Institute in New York. At Rockefeller University he made his most groundbreaking achievements in cell biology. In 1930 he developed the technique of cell fractionation, by which he discovered the agent of the Rous sarcoma, as well as components of cell organelles such as the mitochondrion, chloroplast, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, ribosome, and lysosome. He was the first to employ the electron microscope in the field of biology. In 1945 he published the first detailed structure of cell. His collective works established the complex functional and structural properties of cells.

Claude served as director at Jules Bordet Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment and Laboratoire de Biologie Cellulaire et Cancérologie in Louvain-la-Neuve ; Professor at the Free University of Brussels, the University of Louvain, and Rockefeller University. For his pioneering works he received the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize in 1970, together with his student George Palade and Keith Porter, the Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize in 1971, and the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1974 with Palade and his friend Christian de Duve.

Early life and education
Albert Claude was born in 1899 (but according to civil register 1898) in Longlier, a hamlet in Neufchâteau, Belgium, to Florentin Joseph Claude and Marie-Glaudice Watriquant Claude. He was the youngest among three brothers and one sister. His father was a Paris-trained baker and ran a bakery-cum-general store at Longlier valley near railroad station. His mother, who developed breast cancer in 1902, died when he was seven years old. He spent his pre-school life with his ailing mother. He started education in Longlier Primary School, a pluralistic school of single room, mixed grades, and all under one teacher. In spite of the inconveniences, he remarked the education system as "excellent." He served as a bell boy, ringing the church bell every morning at 6. Due to economic depression the family moved to Athus, a prosperous region with steel mills, in 1907. He entered German-speaking school. After two years he was asked to look after his uncle who was disabled with cerebral haemorrhage in Longlier. He dropped out of school and practically nursed his uncle for several years. At the outbreak of the First World War he was apprenticed to steel mills and worked as an industrial designer. Inspired by Winston Churchill, then British Minister of War, he joined the resistance and volunteered in British Intelligence Service in which he served during the whole war. At the end of the war he was decorated with the Interallied Medal along with veteran status. He then wanted to continue education. Since he had no formal secondary education, particularly required for medicine course, such as in Greek and Latin, he tried to join School of Mining in Liège. By that time Marcel Florkin became head of the Direction of Higher Education in Belgium's Ministry of Public Instruction, and under his administration passed the law that enabled war veterans to pursue higher education without diploma or other examinations. As an honour to his war service, he was given admission to the University of Liège in 1922 to study medicine. He obtained his degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1928.

Career
Claude received travel grants from Belgian government for his doctoral thesis on the transplantation of mouse cancers into rats. With this he worked his postdoctoral research in Berlin during the winter of 1928–1929, first at the Institut für Krebsforschung, and then at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Biology, Dahlem, in the laboratory of tissues culture of Prof. Albert Fischer. Back in Belgium he received fellowship in 1929 from the Belgian American Educational Foundation (Commission for Relief in Belgium, CRB) for research in the United States. He applied for the Rockefeller Institute (now the Rockefeller University) in New York, USA. Simon Flexner, then Director, accepted his proposal to work on the isolation and identification of the Rous sarcoma virus. In September 1929 he joined the Rockefeller Institute. In 1930, he discovered the process of cell fractionation, which was groundbreaking in his time. The process consists of grinding up cells to break the membrane and release the cell's contents. He then filtered out the cell membranes and placed the remaining cell contents in a centrifuge to separate them according to mass. He divided the centrifuged contents into fractions, each of a specific mass, and discovered that particular fractions were responsible for particular cell functions. In 1938 he identified and purified for the first time component of Rous sarcoma virus, the causal agent of carcinoma, as "ribose nucleoprotein" (eventually named RNA). He was the first to use electron microscope to study biological cells. Earlier electron microscopes were used only in physical researches. His first electron microscopic study was on the structure of mitochondria in 1945. He was given American citizenship in 1941. He discovered that mitochondria are the "power houses" of all cells. He also discovered cytoplasmic granules full of RNA and named them "microsomes", which were later renamed ribosomes, the protein synthesizing machineries of cell. With his associate, Keith Porter, he found a "lace-work" structure that was eventually proven to be the major structural feature of the interior of all eukaryotic cells. This was the discovery of endoplasmic reticulum (a Latin for "fishnet").

In 1949, he became Director of the Jules Bordet Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment (Institut Jules Bordet) and Professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the Free University of Brussels, where he was Emeritus in 1971.

In the mid sixties during an Electron Microscopy symposium in (Bratislava)-(Czechoslovakia) organized by the (UNESCO) at the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, he meets young scientist Dr. Emil Mrena who was at that time head of the Electron Microscopy department. He invited him to come and work with him in Brussels, making it possible for Dr. Mrena's family to escape the communist regime. Their close collaboration gave fruition to 5 publications from 1969 to 1974. With the support of his colleague and friend Christian de Duve, he became in 1972 Professor at the University of Louvain (Université catholique de Louvain) and Director of the "Laboratoire de Biologie Cellulaire et Cancérologie" in Louvain-la-Neuve where he moved with Dr. Emil Mrena as sole collaborator. At the same time, he was appointed Professor at the Rockefeller University, an institution with which he had remained connected, in different degrees, since 1929.

Personal life
He married Julia Gilder in 1935, with whom he had a daughter, Philippa. They were divorced while he was at Rockefeller. Philippa became a neuroscientist and married Antony Stretton.

Claude was known to be a bit of an eccentric and had close friendship with painters, including Diego Rivera and Paul Delvaux, and musicians such as Edgard Varèse.

After his retirement in 1971 from the Université libre de Bruxelles and from the directorship of the Institut Jules Bordet, he continued his research at the University of Louvain with his collaborator Dr. Emil Mrena, who ended up resigning in 1977 due to decreasing activity of the Laboratory, moving to other research works. It is said that he continued his research in seclusion until he died of natural causes, at his home in Brussels, on Sunday night on 22 May 1983, but he had stopped visiting his own laboratory in Louvain already in 1976 due to his weak health.

As of this data, the article is full of inaccuracy and misinterpretation, some of them subtle. It needs a thorough pruning and tightening.

The "multiple problems" I'm noticing relate to the use of peculiar words and phrases that range from annoying to nonsensical. I don't want to start trying to fix it because I know nothing about the subject and therefor my guesses about what the writer intended to say could be way off. Someone who knows about both the English language, and Safford's place in the history of WW2 code-breaking, should try to rescue this.

Cheating
The subject of cheating in this game doesn't seem to get covered here. This game is infamous for bringing out cheaters on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection that more or less ruined the multiplayer experience because it was so ubiquitous until nintendo got around to banning players and such. They never really fixed cheating in this game, but apparently learned from it in future Wi-Fi titles which don't have as severe a cheating problem. 74.75.15.247 (talk) 00:59, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you have a reference to verify this? Gary King  ( talk ) 01:01, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * At one point there was actually a notice on the WFC website (on the Hunters hub) from nintendo about the corruption of the game's leaderboards by cheating. Currently the only evidence of the cheating problem still on the site is the corrupted leaderboard statistics (which have not been corrected in some time). Currently nintendowifi.com seems to be having issues; I'll post more when I can actually get there. 74.75.15.247 (talk) 17:38, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I look forward to references. Please only provide reliable sources, though; it'd be preferable if a reliable news source could be provided as a reference, perhaps an article that someone has written which mentions the cheating going on in the game. Gary King  ( talk ) 17:41, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Apparently, Nintendowifi now redirects to the Nintendo homepage. Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait till the DS2 to get online statistics. If Nintendo ever stops milking the DS, that is.--ZXCVBNM 05:15, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Multiplayer mode
The gameplay section is a bit lacking, I think there should be a paragraph on the single player mode, then the multiplayer mode. A one-sentence mention of multiplayer does not fully do justice to a game based around multiplayer (or at least with a far more popular multiplayer mode). I can't source that it's far more popular, but you get the idea. So, finding more sources would be appreciated and help this article immensely.--ZXCVBNM 07:01, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I've expanded the MP paragraph. It should be better now. Gary King  ( talk ) 19:46, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

I'll add some information on the modes because it seriously lacks the whole multiplayer aspect still. 74.166.95.229 (talk) 01:06, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Let's vote on this, who thinks we should re add the stuff I added and Garry took away, I used references(though an incorrect tag because I didn't know how) and had the details of the best part of the game, it might need grammar clean up be to be removed all together is not fair to multiplayer fans. it was less then 1/3 of the article, and multiplayer is the number one reason people buy this game. 74.166.95.229 (talk) 17:20, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Characters
There isn't much mention of the other hunters. The names aren't even mentioned. Should we consider putting some details in here, or even making a new article for the six hunters? ConstantCabbage (talk) 22:34, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If you have enough reliable sources for them, then go for it. Gary King  ( talk ) 00:05, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not so sure a new article dedicated to the six hunters would pass WP:N. And I always thought the hunters get killed when Gorea absorbs their power right before Samus fights it, and that the six colored lights shown during the best ending are the hunters' spirits being released from the exploding Gorea. I re-watched the game's cut scenes today and it doesn't show what happens to the hunters' bodies after their powers are absorbed, so... Do either of you have the Nintendo Power guide for this game, or know where we could get ahold of someone who does? I ask because NP guides sometimes provide additional plot details that are not in the game itself (which are considered official as NP guides were all published by Nintendo). -sesuPRIME talk • contribs 01:54, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * You might be right about the fact that a new article for the hunters might not work. I had just thought so because of articles for minor characters of other games. I have heard a lot of people talk about this game, and all of them thought the hunters were still alive, so I inferred that it was inferred. However, I will try to find a source for it.

Retro Studios' involvement
Mike Harrington, Metroid Prime Hunter's art director, said this in one of my old issues of Nintendo Power:
 * Early in the project, we met with Retro down in Austin, Texas. We had a million and one questions for them. They not only had answers to many of our questions, but they lent us the talents of Andrew Jones, Retro's lead concept artist, to create the character and enemy designs for Hunters. Then they added the help of Todd Keller, art director on Metroid Prime, to head up the creation of character assets for the cinematic sequences. It was great working with everyone a Retro Studios—they really helped kick-start the development.

From Metroid Prime Hunter's intro:
 * Nintendo presents
 * A Nintendo Software Technology Corporation game
 * Special thanks to Retro Studios

These two sources make it quite clear that Nintendo Software Technology and Retro Studios did not co-develop this game. NST developed it and Retro merely assisted with the art direction. I think Retro should still be mentioned in the article, but not listed as a developer in the infobox. - sesu  PRIME  22:53, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Guys, this game is officially non-canon.
http://ds.ign.com/articles/616/616902p2.html

Kensuke Tanabe: This game is its own universe, cut off from any other Metroid game, so there's no link between these characters and any game. We're going to start from this point with these guys.

That's right. A spinoff. So why does this constantly show up in fan-made Metroid timelines? It has nothing to do with anything. 208.101.163.145 (talk) 21:18, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Spin-off ≠ non-canon. In an interview from 2006, Nintendo Power asked Richard Vorodi, game designer for Metroid Prime Hunters:
 * Where does Hunters fit in chronologically with the rest of the Metroid series?
 * Vorodi responded:
 * Mission File 79109 sits somewhere between Metroid Prime and Echoes. You'll notice that Samus is piloting her ship from Prime, but she's wearing the Varia Suit from Echoes.
 * So, yes, Hunters is canon and no, that's not a fan-made timeline. Cheers. - sesu  PRIME  23:05, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Noxus
Noxus redirects here, though he is never mentioned in the page Feathered serpent (talk) 08:07, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
 * He is mentioned (along with nearly all other new characters) in the second paragraph of "Setting and characters" in "Synopsis". Quote: "During the investigation, Samus is confronted by six other bounty hunters: Sylux, a deadly sharpshooter who harbors a strong hatred for the Federation and Samus by association; Weavel, a cybernetic Space Pirate warrior who was injured in a battle with Samus; Trace, a feared member of the Kriken Empire; Kanden, a lab experiment and a supersoldier that was invincible; Noxus, a bounty hunter of the proud and reclusive Vhozon race; and Spire, the last of the silicon-based Diamonts." 109.225.98.60 (talk) 07:27, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Author(s) of the manual
How do we know NST wrote the manual? I don't see that stated in it (besides in the credits, which are for the game itself, not the booklet). Would suggest removing it unless someone can clarify. Glades12 (talk) 05:47, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Commitment Hour

Commitment Hour is a science fiction novel by Canadian writer James Alan Gardner, published in 1998. The novel is set in Gardner's "League of Peoples's" futuristic universe, and plays out in the small, isolated village of Tober Cove. Set on post-apocalyptic Earth, Tober Cove most resembles a rural, seventeenth century fishing village, with one exception: every year, everyone below the age of 21 changes gender. At the age of twenty-one, the people of the village must "commit" to being male, female or both in the form of a Hermaphrodite (a 'Neut'), forever. Commitment Hour follows the day leading up to the main character's hour of commitment.

Tober Cove's society revolves around gender. Dualistic in structure, there is a matriarch and a patriarch, both of whom command equal - but different - power within the community. The patriarch is the head of the city council and the military, which also serves as the town's police force. The matriarch runs the town's health services, a vital role in a society without modern medicine. Tasks within the community are largely gender determined: men are warriors, fishermen, carpenters etc. and women are seamstresses, craft-makers, food preparers etc. Thus, in Tober Cove, choosing a gender is akin to choosing a life.

Throughout the book, the main character addresses some of the more obvious questions, and to him more silly questions people from outside the Cove ask. When asked 'which sex is better,' the main character explains that the answer varies from person to person. Of course, if being male was better, or vice versa, the population of Tober Cove would be overwhelmingly one sided. Since it wasn't, you could say that both sexes had equal advantages and disadvantages. Of course, making love to someone from Tober Cove was always better, since they knew what felt good for both sexes.

Tober Cove's religion also revolves around gender. The residents believe that the gods granted the people of their town the special privilege of choosing their sex, and that every year the gods come to collect their children and change their genders. The fact that the "gods" that descended into the town's harbor every year are stylized planes doesn't bother the residents. They simply believed that the gods used many devices as their instruments.

Tober Cove exists in a post-apocalyptic Earth. Earth is post apocalyptic in the sense that, when the "League of Peoples" offered humanity technological advance in exchange for the promise never to kill other sentient creatures, most of the population of Earth accepted and left the planet. Those who remained were those who wouldn't, or couldn't accept the League's offer. As Earth's population departed, the planet descended into chaos. The book takes place about 400 years after this great exodus, and while some technology still exists, most has fallen in ruin. Tober Cove is a small, rural, technologically undeveloped town that is unique in the galaxy.

Spark Lords rule Earth with super-advanced technology. Clad in indestructible armor, with access to the galaxy's latest gadgetry, Spark Lords maintain absolute control over Earth. Charged by the League with maintaining law and order on Earth, they content themselves with preventing major conflicts. They generally stay out of local affairs, and, to the knowledge of Cove residents, no Spark Lord has ever visited Tober Cove. Much of the plot of the novel is driven by the arrival in Tober Cove of the Science Spark Lord to observe the gender-changing ceremony.

Reception
At Tor.com, Jo Walton declared that the best thing about the novel was Fullin's voice, which she described as "confident confiding first person"; she also stated that the most interesting thing was Fullin's belief "that he's living in a low tech fantasy world, full of gods and magic and rituals and taboos, when in fact it's quite clear to the reader as the story goes on that this is a post-technological, indeed, post-singularity society", and emphasized that the culture of Tober Cove is "very sophisticated" and "very Canadian". The SF Site's Donna McMahon considered it to be "engaging, entertaining, funny and very well written", faulting it only in that she found it unlikely that, "in a society with very rigid traditional gender roles, the sex ratio would end up around 50-50 even if each person was given a completely free choice" — and in that she felt Gardner "has never lived in a fishing village" and therefore "didn't capture the feel of a fish-guts-stinking rural subsistence economy".

Conversely, at Quill and Quire, Crawford Kilian compared it negatively to Ursula K. LeGuin's The Left Hand of Darkness, judging Fullin to be "a stock character who speaks in a flat colloquial style that evokes 1990s suburban America", and the society of Tober Cove to be "crude and implausible"; Publishers Weekly likewise felt that Gardner "lacks the finesse of Le Guin's anthropological SF", calling it "silly" and "less than stellar".

Sister George

Sister George were an English band from London, recognised as being significant in the 1990s queercore scene, who formed in 1993.

Naming, genre and lineup
The group's name was inspired by the 1968 film The Killing of Sister George, which was an adaptation of the play of the same name. Although singer Ellyot called the film "stereotypical and obviously written by a man" she loved Beryl Reid calling her a "dyke heroine". Although queer punk bands had existed in the UK in the 1980s, such as The Apostles/Academy 23,No Brain Cells and Tongue Man (early 1990s), Sister George were one of the first queercore identified UK bands. The members were Lisa Cook on bass, Daryl Stanislaw on drums, Lyndon Holmes on guitar and vocals, and Ellyott on lead vocals and guitar.

First gig and album
Sister George's first gig was at the Girlygig club night organised by Jen from Linus in 1993.

Their album, Drag King, came out on Catcall Records in 1995, which was run by Liz Naylor. It was re-released in the U.S. by Outpunk Records, and a music video for the song "Handle Bar" was made. This song also appeared on the Outpunk Records compilation, Outpunk Dance Party.

Also featured on Drag King was a hardcore style cover of the Tom Robinson song "Glad to Be Gay", but renamed "100 X No!". The Sister George version featured the voice of serial killer Aileen Wuornos, and the band chanting, "We kill in self defence". Tom Robinson at a gig in London's Club V (an alternative queer club, in the mid '90s) introduced his song by saying, "I'm now going to sing a Sister George cover".

Media attention and touring
The band found themselves heralded in the pages of British music magazines such as the NME. In one interview with the NME, Sister George were asked about other UK queercore bands they gave a fake list. Caroline Sullivan also wrote about Sister George a number of times in The Guardian newspaper, which encouraged criticism from mainstream gay culture.

Sister George toured with acts like Huggy Bear and Hissyfit at first, but soon they were joined by other queer bands such as Mouthfull, Six Inch Killaz and Children's Hour, and it was these groups that did pioneer a queercore scene in the UK.

Relevance in gay culture
Label owner Naylor said of the band's relation to mainstream gay culture, "To me, the gay lifestyle is getting to be like just another alternative lifestyle. You go down Old Compton Street in Soho and see them sitting there in nice coffee bars with their pink pounds - and these (Sister George) are 20-year-old kids who are angry and on the dole." The band believed that queercore was a necessity for queer people who were too poor to participate in what had become a commercial scene in places such as Old Compton Street in the 1990s.

Bassist Lisa Cook acknowledged Riot Grrrl as opening up the possibility of Queercore for Sister George saying "Sister George started off in the riot grrrl scene. That opened a door for Queercore by creating a climate where loads of young girls could go to gigs which you couldn't do before".

The band would often enthusiastically say "Queercore is an attitude problem". Their queer identity although front and centre in their music, still they did not wish to be pigeonholed or enjoyed only because they were queer, with Ellyot saying "I don't want the whole world to buy our records because I'm a dyke, I want them to buy our records 'cos we're brilliant!"

The band toured with Tribe 8 on a 3 date UK tour.

Breakup
The band broke up in the midst of recording their second album. Their last gig was on 29th October 1994 at legendary gay pub The Bell on Pentonville Road, London.

Interviews and film
Sister George performed in and are interviewed in the film She's Real, Worse Than Queer by Lucy Thane. Also the Video Zine Getting Close To Nothing (1994) featured a live recording of a song Virus Envy, reused in the feature length Rebel Dykes film. The band were also in OUT magazine 's short film Pull Your Finger Out with another lesbian band Atomic Kandy.

Ellyott was interviewed for the book Never Mind the Bollocks: Women Rewrite Rock by Amy Raphael (Virago Press, 1995) and What is she like : lesbian identities from the 1950s to the 1990s by Rosa Ainley in 2016.

Other bands
Ellyott was the main singer and song writer of Israeli band Pollyanna Frank, a prominent Israeli alternative band; she was also drummer of The Darlings, a band which included Lesley Woods (formerly of the post punk band Au Pairs) and Debbie Smith (later in Curve and Echobelly).

After Sister George, Ellyott went on to form Nightnurse which featured then 16-year-old Charlotte Hatherley on guitar, who would later have success with the band Ash. Daryl drummed for The Element Of Crime with Chris and Jo from Huggy Bear, Layla from Skinned Teen, Dale from Blood Sausage and Andy from Linus, releasing the single "The things we do for love...". Also after Sister George, Lyndon and Lisa had a short running band called Kidnapper.

Lisa Cook passed away in 2008. Ellyott moved back to Israel where she is now a radio DJ.

Moral courage

Moral courage is the courage to take action for moral reasons despite the risk of adverse consequences.

Courage is required in order to take action when one has doubts or fears about the consequences. Moral courage therefore involves deliberation or careful thought. Reflex action or dogmatic fanaticism do not involve moral courage because such impulsive actions are not based upon moral reasoning.

Moral courage may also require physical courage when the consequences are punishment or other bodily peril.

Moral courage has been seen as the exemplary modernist form of courage.

Parenting approach
Incorporating moral courage into parenting can affect the self-expression of the child during late adolescence. The development of moral courage within parenting is not only affected by the parent's passed-down moral values but the children's autonomy on how to perceive and practice their moral values. Those who incorporate the practice of their moral values into their everyday lives engage in moral courage to protect those values as well.

Examples of moral courage
Moral courage can be shown through selfless actions aimed to diminish or eliminate discrimination. A study used qualitative research methods to analyze the process of how and why individuals become LGBT allies. The study mentions how human resources development play a role to help prevent LGBT discrimination in the workplace.

Moral courage anonymity
Many different aspects can contribute to moral courage. Something that may inhibit moral courage however, is the undesirable consequences in their personal, social, and work life. A way of counteracting those adverse consequences and increasing moral courage may be by adding anonymity. In a study on online moral courage, they found that moral courage and anonymity online had a positive correlation. Moral courage was also correlated with gender, age, and education levels, therefore, those who are older, male, and have lower levels of education are more likely to perform acts of moral courage when they perceive that they are acting anonymously compared to those who are young, female, and have higher levels of education. Even when controlling those factors, there is still a positive correlation.

An Essay on Man

"An Essay on Man" is a poem published by Alexander Pope in 1733–1734. It was dedicated to Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke (pronounced 'Bull-en-brook'), hence the opening line: "Awake, my St John...". It is an effort to rationalize or rather "vindicate the ways of God to man" (l.16), a variation of John Milton's claim in the opening lines of Paradise Lost, that he will "justifie the wayes of God to men" (1.26). It is concerned with the natural order God has decreed for man. Because man cannot know God's purposes, he cannot complain about his position in the great chain of being (ll.33–34) and must accept that "Whatever is, is right" (l.292), a theme that was satirized by Voltaire in Candide (1759). More than any other work, it popularized optimistic philosophy throughout England and the rest of Europe.

Pope's Essay on Man and Moral Epistles were designed to be the parts of a system of ethics which he wanted to express in poetry. Moral Epistles has been known under various other names including Ethic Epistles and Moral Essays.

On its publication, An Essay on Man received great admiration throughout Europe. Voltaire called it "the most beautiful, the most useful, the most sublime didactic poem ever written in any language". In 1756 Rousseau wrote to Voltaire admiring the poem and saying that it "softens my ills and brings me patience". Kant was fond of the poem and would recite long passages from it to his students.

Later however, Voltaire renounced his admiration for Pope's and Leibniz's optimism and even wrote a novel, Candide, as a satire on their philosophy of ethics. Rousseau also critiqued the work, questioning "Pope's uncritical assumption that there must be an unbroken chain of being all the way from inanimate matter up to God."

The essay, written in heroic couplets, comprises four epistles. Pope began work on it in 1729, and had finished the first three by 1731. They appeared in early 1733, with the fourth epistle published the following year. The poem was originally published anonymously; Pope did not admit authorship until 1735.

Pope reveals in his introductory statement, "The Design", that An Essay on Man was originally conceived as part of a longer philosophical poem which would have been expanded on through four separate books. According to his friend and editor, William Warburton, Pope intended to structure the work as follows:

The four epistles which had already been published would have comprised the first book. The second book was to contain another set of epistles, which in contrast to the first book would focus on subjects such as human reason, the practical and impractical aspects of varied arts and sciences, human talent, the use of learning, the science of the world, and wit, together with "a satire against the misapplication" of those same disciplines. The third book would discuss politics and religion, while the fourth book was concerned with "private ethics" or "practical morality." The following passage, taken from the first two paragraphs of the opening verse of the second epistle, is often quoted by those familiar with Pope's work, as it neatly summarizes some of the religious and humanistic tenets of the poem:

In the above example, Pope's thesis is that man has learnt about nature and God's creation through science; consequently, science has given man power, but having become intoxicated by this power, man has begun to think that he is "imitating God". In response, Pope declares the species of man to be a "fool", absent of knowledge and plagued by "ignorance" in spite of all the progress achieved through science. Pope argues that humanity should make a study of itself, and not debase the spiritual essence of the world with earthly science, since the two are diametrically opposed to one another: man should "presume not God to scan".

References in other works
The phrase "the hope that springs eternal" is used in the second stanza of "Casey at the Bat", a mock-heroic poem by Ernest Thayer in order to humorously make the poem sound pretentious.

Quoddy Head State Park is a public recreation area in Lubec, Maine, located on the easternmost point of land in the continental United States. On its 541 acre, purchased by the state in 1962, the state park features 5 mi of hiking trails, extensive forests, two bogs, diverse habitat for rare plants, and the striking, red-and-white striped lighthouse tower of West Quoddy Head Light.

In 1808, West Quoddy Head Light became the easternmost lighthouse in the United States. Its light and fog cannon warned mariners of Quoddy's dangerous cliffs, ledges, and Sail Rock. Among the first to use a fog bell and later a steam-powered foghorn, this lighthouse greatly reduced shipwrecks in this foggy area, even as shipping increased. In 1858, the present red-and-white tower replaced the original. Monitored and serviced by the United States Coast Guard, its light still shines through its original third-order Fresnel lens. After automation in 1988, the light station became part of adjacent Quoddy Head State Park. A visitor center and museum in the former light keeper's quarters are run by the West Quoddy Head Light Keepers Association. The tower is closed to visitors.

For a few weeks around the equinoxes, West Quoddy Head is the first location in the United States to see the sunrise. Quoddy Head State Park is also the closest geographic point in the United States to the African continent.
