Talk:Shaggy Rogers

Beatnik/hippie
He's a beatnik who dresses like a hippie? Are you sure? Taco Deposit | Talk-o to Taco 22:14, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * I was just leaving in the "beatnik/hippie" remark when I originally updated this entry. While I suppose technically Shaggy's got mannerisms of both, he doesn't really dress like either one (goatee aside). Anthony Dean 05:29, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Shaggy was developed as a somewhat typical 1969 teenager, with many hippie influences. Beatniks were the hipsters of the 50s, so that term would not be apt. But in the end, they are all hipsters.196.215.18.76 (talk) 11:21, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Source of his behavior?
I'm sure it probably doesn't need to be asked, being that it's been parodied in just about every way imaginable in movies and references...

Shaggy, being a hippy/hipster, exhibits many of the signs of Marihuana use, though this aspect is never referred to or shown. Other possibilities are that he partakes of psychotropic substances, as well.

My rationale is such:

He's always ravenously hungry. Weed stoners typically go for carbohydrate based foods: Sandwiches, pizza, chips, Scooby snacks, and so on (Agreed, one doesn't necessarily have to be a stoner to be hungry like this, myself as a prime example).

He's usually the first one to see the monster/ghost.

He responds to his dog as if it were actually speaking to him (this could be seen as sort of an internal monologue on the part of Scooby, not actually spoken to the other characters). He responds to Scooby more than the other characters. The fact that they sometimes also have discussions with the dog indicates that they're not completely innocent, either. This is really quite consistent with the times, where two just-turned-men are driving around the country in a VW microbus with two unmarried girls, with no home or sources of income is perfectly ok. It also leads to the obvious question of "Where do they get the money to buy their stuff? How do they eat? How do they pay for gas?"

JD 06:01, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Followup! Ok, I know this is silly of me, but I actually read the "Adult Themes" section of the main scooby doo page, and realised I redundantly covered this all redundantly. Of course, the issue of money still comes up.
 * Probable answers include: 1. Daphne's family, as shown in various spinoffs, is quite wealthy, so she might pick up the tab for things like air fare, etc., 2. The reward money from capturing various crooks-disguised-as-phony-ghosts, etc., or 3. Half the time, their trips involve staying with relatives or friends, which would cut back on the costs. Anthony Dean 18:34, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

In refferance to the above. No air fares, they drive everywhere, hence the van, and the tiny van is probably pretty fuel efficent, shaggy's uncle is also pretty rich too.

As to drug use: I mean Scoobie doobie doo, it's right there in the name. The way scooby and shaggy do anything for a scoobie snack, it's pretty clear those things are hash cakes. and why are those 2 in the back, when the other 3 are up front, smoking a joint no doubt... Oh, btw scooby snack aren't mentioned in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.249.207 (talk) 00:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Shaggy's behavior does not stem from drug use, but from the fact that he is an omnipotent being who exists in the eighth dimension. He is often under the intense pressure of being an entity above God Himself since Shaggism (Religion of Shaggy) has become prominent once more after a 2000 year hiatus. With such a large surge in popularity, The Almighty Gobbler, Shaggy is under stress, causing overwhelmingly epic behavior. Legend has it that he only used 13% of his power to create the universe itself over 18 billion years ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uwuyeet (talk • contribs) 04:44, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Shaggy's German?
I've removed this dubious category since the article doesn't appear to give an explanation.Psychonaut3000 19:46, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Scooby - Relative?
Can Scooby be considered a relative, since he is a dog, and not actually related to Shaggy; he's more of a friend.  Cool Blue  talk to me 17:07, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Picture
Could we get a picture of the "classic" Shaggy? This modern 'What's New Scooby Doo'-version is not what most people have in mind when they think of him. Es-won 20:43, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Other characters interacting with Scooby
I seem to remember Velma talking to Scooby and reacting to his verbal responses or at the very least him nodding. Does anyone else remember this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Edbles (talk • contribs) 20:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

If you've seen much of the various series, as I have, you would notice that EVERYONE (not just the gang) reacts to Scooby on a regular basis. For example, a recurring joke is the tendency for people to sometimes confuse what he says and repeat it trying to figure it out, due to Scooby adding R to his words. They also seem to react to his cowardly ways, grabbing him and pulling him back when he says he is going to run away. They also treat Scooby though he was both a dog and a human, giving him human privilges and feeding him human foods, and I don't recall them feeding him dog food either, but they also feed him from a dog dish sometimes. Lastly, I have no idea where the whole drug use thing came about, but as a show aimed a young viewers, it's VERY unlikely that this would happen or parents and the FCC would be all over the Scooby writers.24.131.170.13 (talk) 10:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Red/green shirt
Should'nt there be a metion of Times shaggy where's a red shirt instead of green? Charecter wise a red shirt meant shaggy was either in charge of the group or generally braver than when he wears green. Shaggy also doesn't appear to wear any socks also, at least most of the time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.215.242.231 (talk) 05:36, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Plot Hole

Gender/sexuality
"Mixed". You're joking right?--92.41.198.42 (talk) 23:13, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I think the Sexuality article must go!. It's far too OTT. (Mhawkins968 (talk) 20:52, 17 November 2010 (UTC))
 * Agreed. It's someone trying to make an issue of a nonissue. The editor who put it back and demanded discussion hasn't shown up here. I'm removing it again.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 18:42, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I've restored it - it's well referenced, IMHO, and Wikipedia is not censored just because unnamed or new editors think it "must go!" TheRealFennShysa (talk) 20:27, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

 * 1. Wikipedia articles on characters should reflect analysis from outside parties and creation and conception articles. So far the "sexuality" section is the only reliably sourced section that does not rely on the TV show itself.
 * 2. The opinions and viewpoints originate from a peer reviewed journal article. Wikipedia needs to address that, especially in absence of any other analysis of the character.
 * WhisperToMe (talk) 12:46, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * How is this any kind of reliable source? It's basically a blog, nothing more.Judgeking (talk) 07:01, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Like an editor above said, this is a non-issue. JP Dennis is a gay writer who writes about gay issues, of course he sees gay couples everywhere! There are no "facts" here, only opinions of one man; this is heavily POV, undue weight, original research and unreliable source.  Anyone can put a 'paper' up on the web, that doesn't make it a reliable reference. Judgeking (talk) 16:37, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I've started a section about this one reference on the Reliable Sources noticeboard at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Cartoon_Sexuality, any interested parties may want to participate. Judgeking (talk) 21:44, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

I believe the issue of potential homosexuality should not be readded. It places undue weight on a topic that I believe is a non-issue for most people. Also, the paper the section references contains the opinion of only one man, who, as a gay man himself who writes almost exclusively about gay issues, cannot be objective. Judgeking (talk) 18:12, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The above reply was cross-posted to many articles, without consideration to the article's contents and the particular proposed Dennis revisions. Considering the decision at the RS noticeboard here, a Wikipedian cannot make a blanket statements that a particular source is undue for all articles. It must be determined on an article by article basis. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:27, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * My reply is the same in each article, because the section was almost the same in each article. They all basically go "Dennis thinks this character may be gay.  Martin Goodman of Animation World Magazine responded 'That's interesting'".  Ridiculous we're even having this debate. Judgeking (talk) 22:13, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * 1."because the section was almost the same in each article" - That is not correct. And plus that response fails to consider that the articles themselves differ a lot. Undue weight is a consideration of the proposed revision and the existing article.
 * 2."They all basically go "Dennis thinks this character may be gay." - The Scooby Doo and Daria stuff don't say that at all. And with other characters there are explanations and qualifications added. The lengths of the latter do differ, with the original Pinky and the Brain revision taking far more space than the Heffer revision, for instance. The amount of space devoted to a subject or an idea within an article is a consideration for whether something is of undue weight.
 * 3."Martin Goodman of Animation World Magazine responded 'That's interesting'"" - To two (Spongebob and Pinky) - He challenged the analysis of some other characters. And even "that's interesting" adds weight to warranting inclusion of the Dennis stuff.
 * WhisperToMe (talk) 22:18, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * For articles when they already mention things about their sexuality yes it should be added, but articles like this one where Dennis is alone it should not be added. JDDJS (talk) 21:30, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, just because other articles about Shaggy don't talk about his sexuality doesn't necessarily mean that including one or two sentences from Dennis would be making everything undue weight. It depends on how much of the other research is included and how many sentences are about Dennis's theories.
 * The main problem with this article is that it's all plot summary and has no analysis. One can argue "including Dennis in this case would be Undue because it's the only analysis in the article" BUT it also means this article is in danger of being merged into a general "Characters of Scooby Doo" article. Some people want an article just about Shaggy. In this case they need to do the research to pull up what journalists and researchers say about Shaggy. Then we can have a better grasp of whether Dennis's statement is undue for that particular character.
 * WhisperToMe (talk) 22:15, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Here are the problems with Dennis's article: 1. He is clearly biased on account he himself is gay and 2. He only briefly talks about Shaggy and 3. I don't really think the point of the article was to call cartoon characters gay. I think it was more just trying to show the perception of gay cartoon characters. JDDJS (talk) 00:46, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

After rereading the article Dennis does not seem to really think that Shaggy is gay. JDDJS (talk) 00:54, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * That's right. Dennis said that other people think Shaggy and Scooby are gay, based on the SMF article. Goodman responded by saying that Dennis had misread the SMF source. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:45, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Please see Fringe_theories/Noticeboard WhisperToMe (talk) 02:45, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Also WP:FRINGE says "We use the term fringe theory in a very broad sense to describe ideas that depart significantly from the prevailing or mainstream view in its particular field."
 * Dennis said in his essay that Scooby and Shaggy are not gay. If the mainstream viewpoint is that Scooby and Shaggy are not gay, then Dennis's conclusion is not a fringe theory.

Shaggy is a vegetarian and collects beltbuckels
Why dudes and dudettes lol, I was watching boomerang and I saw a follow-up story on Shaggy which shows he's skinny even though he eats a lot because he's vegetarian, but he ate a lot of scooby snacks which made him fat so he decied to distract himself out of eating by collecting Belt buckels (sorry if i spelled it wrong I'm not really sure if you spell it like that). And now has like more than 300 Belt buckels, and he always wears a different one in each episode.(talk) 19:24, 1 March 2009 (UTC

 * Shaggy is not vegetarian. He is seen eating meat in many different canonical iterations of the series, including the newer feature-length movies. For example, in Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost he is seen eating pot roast, ham and other meats. I don't know what "Boomerang" is, but Shaggy is a carnivore through-and-through. Supertheman  ( talk  ) 05:05, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Shaggy turned vegan/vegetarian when Casey Kasem, his voice actor, changed his dietary habit, but when other actors voice him, like Scott Innes or more recently Matthew Lillard, he becomes carnivore once more, simple as. 92.6.87.145 (talk) 01:42, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

In the latest movie he is seen eating meat, and Casey is voicing him no more. So, Shaggy is a carnivore forevermore. In all the new movies (starting with Zombie Island), he is seen eating meat and or seafood. I'm not sure what episodes he was a vegan, but he was never a vegan in these movies and they were voiced by Kasem. Supertheman ( talk  ) 20:34, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Shaggy GIF

Shaggy the Stoner
This page talks about the fact of Shaggy embodying the Beatnik/Hippy characteristics, but the one encompassing stereotype that he embodies is that of the stoner.

He is one of the best examples of the stoner archetype in cartoon form.

Shaggy's real first name
Several official credits in the IMDb list Shaggy's full name as Norville 'Shaggy' Rogers. This constitutes alignment with canon. The entry should reflect this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.205.46.210 (talk) 18:03, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

 * In Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders, he says "Norville" too, and then says "people call me Shaggy". 24.199.69.143 (talk) 07:19, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

 * In the canonical show "A Pup Named Scooby Doo", season one, episode six entitled "The Babysitter From Beyond" his parents call him "Norville" quite clearly. Shaggy doesn't like being called "Norville" because (as he says) "It's like, not cool", but his name is "Norville" and it is canonical. End of argument.

 * The consensus at RS noticeboard is that A. the source is an RS and B. the RS noticeboard is not the place for determining whether something is of undue weight.
 * Undue weight is an editorial concern, and that is resolved on an article by article basis on the talk page(s).
 * In this case, there's hardly anything scholarly so far presented about Shaggy. Fictional character articles are supposed to contain "creation and conception" (from primary sources) and "reception/analysis" (from secondary sources) - So far, Dennis had the only secondary source content.
 * What this article needs is for more info from secondary sources to be posted here

Shaggy marijuana use rumors are not OR, not fancruft
It is come to my attention that a Wikipedia user removed the info on the Shaggy marijuana use rumors saying it was OR and fancruft. I want to remind the editors here that this isn't the case. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:56, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
 * OR means "material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist."
 * Fancruft is not fancruft if it is documented in published, reliable sources.

 * Hardly. The section in question was a para with several refs the consisted "only" of people commenting on the rumors/fancruft about Shaggy being a pothead or their opinions of such. This is NOT published, reliable sources - it is the definition of fancruft and commenting on fancruft. All "official" sources - i.e. people associated with the show (including Casey Kasem) roundly poo-poo the notion. The rest of the section was unsubstantiated OR.

Coward?
At the risk of taking things too seriously, I always object to the characterization of Shaggy and Scooby as "cowardly". They often have the most face-to-face interaction with the villains, don costumes and stage elaborate "skits" to distract them, etc. Like Klinger in M*A*S*H, they don't seek out danger, but they do what they need to do, and their friends can count on them.

My changed version Norville "Shaggy" Rogers is a god in the Scooby-Doo franchise. He is a cowardly slacker and the long-time best friend of his equally cowardly Great Dane, Scooby-Doo. Like Scooby-Doo, Shaggy is more interested in eating than solving mysteries. He also has superpowers that let him do anything without even using that much of his power capacity.

The voice actors section of the info of Scott Innes needs to be updated, as shown here "Scott Innes (1999–2009, 2010–2018, 2020)". The reason being is that even though he stopped voicing him in 2009, he actually continued to voice him in several McDonald's commercials and in the ''Scooby-Doo! The Museum of Mysteries'' theme park ride from 2010 to 2018. He also recently returned to voice Shaggy in the Playmobil shorts on YouTube in 2020. As shown bellow.

Monte Generoso railway

The Monte Generoso Railway or Ferrovia Monte Generoso (MG) is a mountain railway line in the Italian speaking canton of Ticino, in south-east Switzerland. The line runs from Capolago, on Lake Lugano, to a terminus near the summit of Monte Generoso. It is the highest railway in Ticino. The summit (1701 m) offers extensive views over the Lombardy Plain, part of the Po Valley, and towards the Alps.

Whilst the railway lies entirely within Switzerland, the summit station is only a few metres from the international border with the Italian region of Lombardy. The line is owned by the Migros group, better known for operating supermarkets throughout Switzerland.

History
In 1867, Doctor Carlo Pasta built a hotel on Monte Generoso, near to the current location of the Bellavista station on the Monte Generoso railway. In 1886, a concession was granted to the Monte Generoso SA for the construction of a narrow gauge and cog railway to the summit. The line opened on the June 5, 1890, and was originally operated with steam locomotives. The following year, the Tramway Bellavista was opened to link the railway to Doctor Pasta's hotel.

However the owning company encountered financial difficulties at various times during the first half of the 20th century. In the 1939, the then owners approached Gottlieb Duttweiler, the founder of the Migros group, for assistance, and in 1941 the railway became part of that group.

In 1954, two diesel locomotives (Hm 2/3 1 and 2) were built on the frames of older steam locomotives, followed, in 1957, by two four-axle diesel railcars (Bhm 2/4 3 and 4), which allowed a more economical operation. In 1968, two smaller two-axle railcars (Bhm 1/2 5 and 6) were introduced. In 1982 the line was electrified and four twin-unit railcars (Bhe 4/8 11 to 14) were supplied by SLM in 1981-2.

At the end of the season in 2013, the line closed for the winter as normal. It was then announced that it would not reopen to passengers until 2015, in order to facilitate the rebuilding of the hotel and restaurant at the summit. The closure was extended twice, and eventually the new building, designed by Mario Botta, opened on 8 April 2017. In the meantime, the railway was used for the transport of construction materials and workers.

Route
The line commences at Capolago Lago station, where trains connect with boat services of the Società Navigazione del Lago di Lugano on Lake Lugano. However most trains start 300 m up the line at Capolago-Riva San Vitale station, at an altitude of 274 m, where they connect with Swiss Federal Railways trains on the line from Lugano to Milan via Chiasso. The line's car shed and workshop are both situated on the line between the two Capolago stops.

At Capolago-Riva San Vitale station, the line serves a stop on the street in front of the station building, before climbing a ramp to cross a bridge over the throat of the mainline station. From here it climbs the flank of the mountain as far as San Nicolao station, at an altitude of 707 m. Bellavista station, at 1222 m, follows, and with its station buffet and access to various walks is a destination in its own right. Both San Nicolao and Bellavista stations have passing loops, but the latter is the normal passing place for ascending and descending trains.

After leaving Bellavista, the line leaves the heavily forested lower slopes and runs through more open meadows before reaching the Generoso Vetta terminus, at 1592 m. The station is located a short walk from the mountain summit, and has a buffet, restaurant and rooftop viewing gallery.

Operation
The line is 9 km long and is of gauge. It is a rack railway, with a maximum gradient of 22%, using the Abt design. The line is electrified using an 850 V DC overhead line, and is principally operated by the four two-car electric trains built in 1981-2.

The line operates from mid-March to early November, with trains running hourly during daylight hours. If traffic requires it, the hourly departure may be operated as multiple trains running in convoy. A late evening train operates on Fridays and Saturdays only. Only one train a day runs through to Capolago Lago, in order to connect with a boat service from Lugano.

One steam locomotive still exists, as does one of the original coaches, and two diesel locomotives. The remaining steam and diesel locomotives operate occasional services. One of the Bhm 1/2 diesel railcars is preserved in the Museo Europeo dei Trasporti Ogliari in Ranco on the Italian shore of Lake Maggiore.

Untitled
Is this article abt music or writing...I think there should not be so much abt when and where writing evolved. Musical evolution has been largely independent of musical notation.

From User talk:Peak
Hi. How does the following contradict itself? Thanks. Hyacinth 06:36, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * "Ancient music is music after prehistoric music. In European musical historiography (see music history), the era of ancient music began in 1500 BCE, ended in 476 CE, and was followed by the Early music era of European classical music. Ancient music is monophonic."
 * The first sentence of an article generally gives some kind of definition, and in this context your version implies that even contemporary music would be classified as "ancient music". The last sentence seems to be in accordance with musicology. Please note that, in my opinion, the first sentence (whether in its revised form or not) is very awkward; in fact I was hoping that an expert in musical historiography would step in to rewrite the entire paragraph. Thanks for your patience. Peak 05:27, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I thought you might have responded here. Do you like to keep conversation "threads" in one place? If this is so, or otherwise, would you mind if we moved this conversation to Talk:Ancient music?

 * Since you started the conversation here, I left it here. Please feel free to move it. Peak

I do not see how my version (above) would imply that ancient music may be contemporary.
 * If your version is taken as a definition, it would imply that all music after prehistoric music is ancient music. Peak

I don't see how this can even be implied, its ancient.
 * I trust you are not suggesting that a circular definition here ("Ancient music is music that is ancient") would be better!

I attempted to alleviate the sentence by moving the statement, "Ancient music is monophonic," out of a long convoluted sentence. I do not think that this is even accurate as polyphony certainly existed before Ancient music and it seems strange that an era would include only certain textures (though they usually only include certain regions and classes). Do you have a source?

 * One source is Wikipedia: History_of_music, but I am no expert on musical historiography. All I ask is that what appears here is at least plausible :-) Peak

If it was accurate before, how is it inaccurate in my version? Hyacinth 03:31, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * The difference between definition and description sometimes gets lost because of the word "is". Compare "Biology is the science of life" (definition) with "Biology is by many accounts the most difficult science" (description). Peak 06:32, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

User:Eleassar777, please explain that the cultures at those locations at those early dates where literate in the article (A reader would need go to Ur, "Iraq" to find out that is was Mesopotamia). Also add some version of this information to Music of Mesopotamia. Hyacinth 22:16, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Ok, I will. However, why haven't you done it? --Eleassar777 22:30, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * Forgive my short tone, I was at work, where private use of computers is not allowed, and forgot a "you could" which would have turned my last demand into a request.
 * I have not added this information because I'm not either presumably infatuated with or currently reading a book about the oldest instruments and so I can't. Hyacinth 03:25, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Question
The first examples of (structured linear) writing have been found in the lower Danube Valley and date from around 5000 BC. The first examples of Sumerian writing in Mesopotamia date from around 4000 BC. So if when writing develops, the music is not prehistoric anymore, how can it be that the ancient music is the one that occurs only after 1500 BC? --Eleassar777 22:44, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * As you will see above, my mistake. However, the article does need to specify when prehistory ended in Mesopotamia and you appear more than qualified to add that information. I obviously, am not. Hyacinth 03:27, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

earliest song evar
Where can I hear what the earliest sound ever written down or preserved sounded like?--Sonjaaa 06:13, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

 * The Delphic Hymns are one candidate for this title. —Keenan Pepper 04:46, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Addition of Ancient Music Origins
Hello! I added a section on "ancient music origins" that I think could lend more general knowledge to the category of "ancient music." I took a look at the prehistoric music article and I liked how it contains sections on "Origins of prehistoric instruments" and "Archaeoacoustic methodology" before it begins separating out the different regions of the world and the respective contributions to prehistoric music. This ancient music origins section might go more in-depth over the idea of "characterizations of basic notes and scales" seen in the lead along with touching more on the idea of written musical notation and transmission (as opposed to oral music transmission) which seems to be the mark of the shift from prehistoric to ancient. I also believe that this will offer a means to expand upon the lead a little more. I have started the section, but would appreciate assistance in crafting it either through credible additions or through reliable sources that could be useful. Thanks!

Canadian Open (golf)

The Canadian Open (L'Omnium Canadien) is a professional golf tournament in Canada. It is co-organized by Golf Canada (formerly known as the Royal Canadian Golf Association) and the PGA Tour. It was first played in 1904, and has been held annually since then, except for during World War I, World War II and the COVID-19 pandemic. It is the third oldest continuously running tournament on the tour, after The Open Championship and the U.S. Open.

Tournament
As a national open, and especially as the most accessible non-U.S. national open for American golfers, the event had a special status in the era before the professional tour system became dominant in golf. In the interwar years, it was sometimes considered the third most prestigious tournament in the sport, after The Open Championship and the U.S. Open. This previous status was noted in the media in 2000, when Tiger Woods became the first man to win The Triple Crown (all three Opens in the same season) in 29 years, since Lee Trevino in 1971. In the decades preceding the tournament's move to an undesirable September date in 1988, the Canadian Open was often unofficially referred to as the fifth major.

The top three golfers on the PGA Tour Canada Order of Merit prior to the tournament are given entry into the Canadian Open. However, prize money won at the Canadian Open does not count towards the Canadian Tour money list.

Celebrated winners include Hall of Fame members Leo Diegel, Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour, Harry Cooper, Lawson Little, Sam Snead, Craig Wood, Byron Nelson, Doug Ford, Bobby Locke, Bob Charles, Arnold Palmer, Kel Nagle, Billy Casper, Gene Littler, Lee Trevino, Curtis Strange, Greg Norman, Nick Price, Vijay Singh, Mark O'Meara, and Tiger Woods. The Canadian Open is regarded as the most prestigious tournament never won by Jack Nicklaus, a seven-time runner-up. Diegel has the most titles, with four in the 1920s.

In the early 2000s, the tournament was still being held in early September. Seeking to change back to a more desirable summer date in the schedule, the RCGA lobbied for a better date. When the PGA Tour's schedule was revamped to accommodate the FedEx Cup in 2007, the Canadian Open was rescheduled for late July, sandwiched between three events with even higher profiles (The Open Championship the week prior, the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational the week after, and the PGA Championship the week after that). The tournament counts towards the FedEx Cup standings, and earns the winner a Masters invitation.

In 2019, due to a re-alignment of the PGA Tour and major scheduling, the Canadian Open moved to early-June prior to the U.S. Open. The event was also added to the Open Qualifying Series, allowing up to three of the top-ten finishers to qualify for the Open Championship.

The 2020 event, originally scheduled for June 11 to 14 at St. George's Golf and Country Club in Toronto, was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 9, 2021, Golf Canada announced that the 2021 tournament would be cancelled as well.

Courses
Glen Abbey Golf Course in Oakville, Ontario, has hosted the most Canadian Opens, with 30 to date. Glen Abbey was designed in 1976 by Jack Nicklaus for the Royal Canadian Golf Association, to serve as the permanent home for the championship.

In the mid-1990s, the RCGA decided to move the championship around the country. The owner of Glen Abbey since 2005, Clublink Corp filed an application in October 2015 to redevelop the property into a residential community, with offices and retail stores. There was no provision for a golf course in the plan. The Town of Oakville Council responded in August 2017 by declaring the golf course a heritage site under the Ontario Heritage Act, which would make it more difficult for ClubLink to develop the area as it had planned. Golf Canada was also concerned since it could not predict whether it could get the necessary permit to hold the Canadian Open at Glen Abbey in 2018 as it had planned. The dispute between the Town of Oakville and ClubLink remains before the courts as of November 2018. The 2019 Open was held at Hamilton Golf and Country Club. The event may again be held at Glen Abbey in some future years if the planned redevelopment by Clublink is not allowed to proceed. The 2023 Open was held at the Oakdale Golf & Country Club.

Royal Montreal Golf Club, home of the first Open in 1904, ranks second having hosted the event ten times. Hamilton Golf and Country Club has hosted seven Opens and Mississaugua Golf & Country Club six, while Toronto Golf Club and St. George's Golf and Country Club have each hosted five Opens. Three clubs have each hosted four Opens: Lambton Golf Club, Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club, and Scarboro Golf and Country Club.

The championship has for the most part been held in Ontario and Quebec, between them having seen all but nine Opens. New Brunswick had the Open in 1939, Manitoba in 1952 and 1961, Alberta in 1958, and British Columbia in 1948, 1954, 1966, 2005 and 2011.

The 2002 event was held on the south course at Angus Glen Golf Club, while the 2007 event was held on the north course.

History
The Royal Montreal Golf Club, founded in 1873, is the oldest continuously running official golf club in North America. The club was the host of the first Canadian Open championship in 1904, and has been host to nine other Canadian Opens, at two locations, with the club moving to its current site on an island west of Montreal in 1959. The 1912 Canadian Open at the Rosedale Golf Club was famed American golfer Walter Hagen's first professional competition. In 1914, Karl Keffer won the event, being the last Canadian-born champion.

Englishman J. Douglas Edgar captured the 1919 championship at Hamilton Golf and Country Club by a record 16-stroke margin; 17-year-old amateur prodigy Bobby Jones (who was coached by Edgar) tied for second. The 1930 Canadian Open at Hamilton was another stellar tournament. Tommy Armour blazed his way around the course over the final 18 holes of regulation play, shooting a 64. Four-time champion Diegel and Armour went to a 36-hole playoff to decide the title. Armour shot 138 (69-69) to defeat Diegel by three strokes.

Toronto's St. Andrews Golf Club hosted the Open in 1936 and 1937 – the only course to hold back-to-back Opens until the creation of Glen Abbey – before it felt the impact of the growth of the city, and was ploughed under to allow for the creation of Highway 401. The Riverside Golf and Country Club of Rothesay, New Brunswick was host to the 1939 Canadian Open where Harold "Jug" McSpaden was champion. This was the only time the Open has been held in Atlantic Canada.

Scarboro Golf and Country Club in eastern Toronto was host to four Canadian Opens: 1940, 1947, 1953, and 1963. Three of these events were decided by one stroke, and the only time the margin was two shots was when Bobby Locke defeated Ed Oliver in 1947. With his win at Scarboro in 1947, the golfer from South Africa became just the second non-North American winner of the Canadian Open. Locke fired four rounds in the 60s to finish at 16-under-par, two strokes better than the American Oliver. After the prize presentation Locke was given a standing ovation, and was then hoisted to shoulders by fellow countrymen who were then residents of Canada.

In 1948, for the first time, the Canadian Open traveled west of Ontario, landing at Shaughnessy Heights Golf Club in Vancouver, British Columbia, where Charles Congdon sealed his victory on the 16th hole with a 150-yard bunker shot that stopped eight feet from the cup. The following birdie gave him the lead, and Congdon went on to win by three shots.

Mississaugua Golf & Country Club has hosted six Canadian Opens: 1931, 1938, 1942, 1951, 1965, and 1974. The 1951 Open tournament was won by Jim Ferrier, who successfully defended the title he had won at Royal Montreal a year earlier. Winnipeg's St. Charles Country Club hosted the 1952 Canadian Open, and saw Johnny Palmer set the 72-hole scoring record of 263, which still stands after more than 60 years. Palmer's rounds of 66-65-66-66 bettered the old 1947 mark set by Bobby Locke by five shots. In 1955, Arnold Palmer captured the Canadian Open championship, his first PGA Tour victory, at the Weston Golf and Country Club.

Montreal, Quebec's Laval-sur-le-Lac hosted the 1962 Open where Gary Player was disqualified after the first round, when he recorded the wrong score on the 10th hole. He had won the PGA Championship the week before. Californian Charlie Sifford attended the 1962 Canadian Open in part to raise the profile of African-American players on the PGA Tour. He was one of only 16 of the top 100 players on tour to play there in 1962.

Pinegrove Country Club played host to the Canadian Open in 1964 and 1969. Australian Kel Nagle edged Arnold Palmer and Raymond Floyd at the 1964 Open to become, aged almost 44 at the time, the oldest player to win the title. Five years later, Tommy Aaron fired a final-round 64 to force a playoff with 57-year-old Sam Snead. Aaron won the 18-hole playoff, beating Snead by two strokes (70-72).

The small town of Ridgeway, Ontario in the Niagara Peninsula was host of the 1972 Open at Cherry Hill Golf Club. A popular choice of venue, it drew rave reviews by the players, specifically the 1972 champion Gay Brewer, who called it the best course he had ever played in Canada, and Arnold Palmer, who suggested the Open be held there again the following year. In 1975, Tom Weiskopf won his second Open in three years in dramatic fashion at the Blue Course of Royal Montreal's new venue, defeating Jack Nicklaus on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff, after almost holing his short-iron approach. Windsor, Ontario's Essex Golf & Country Club was host of the 1976 Canadian Open, where Nicklaus again finished second, this time behind champion Jerry Pate. Essex came to the rescue late in the game, when it was determined that the newly built Glen Abbey was not yet ready to host the Canadian Open. The 1997 Open at Royal Montreal was the first time Tiger Woods ever missed a professional cut, after winning the Masters Tournament a few months before.

Angus Glen Golf Club was host to two recent Canadian Opens, 2002 and 2007. In 2007 Jim Furyk became one of a few golfers who have won two consecutive Canadian Open titles, joining James Douglas Edgar, Leo Diegel, Sam Snead and Jim Ferrier. Angus Glen owns the unique distinction of having each of its two courses (North and South) host the Canadian Open.

Glen Abbey Golf Club of Oakville, Ontario has hosted 30 Open Championships (1977–79, 1981–96, 1998–2000, 2004, 2008–09, 2013, 2015–2018), and has crowned 24 different champions. The 11th hole at Glen Abbey is widely considered its signature hole, and begins the world-famous valley sequence of five holes from 11 to 15. The picturesque 11th is a 459-yard straightaway par-4, where players tee off 100 feet above the fairway, which ends at Sixteen Mile Creek, just short of the green. John Daly left his mark, and a plaque is permanently displayed on the back tee deck, recounting Daly's attempt to reach the green with his tee shot. His ball landed in the creek.

In 2000, Tiger Woods dueled with Grant Waite over the final 18 holes, before finally subduing the New Zealander on the 72nd hole with an exceptional shot. Holding a one-shot advantage, Woods found his tee shot in a fairway bunker, and after watching Waite put his second shot 30 feet from the hole, decided to go for the green. Woods hit a 6-iron which carried a lake and settled on the fringe just past the flag, which was 218 yards away, and then chipped to tap-in range for the title-clinching birdie. With the victory, Woods became only the second golfer to capture the U.S. Open, Open Championship and Canadian Open in the same year, earning him the Triple Crown trophy; he matched Lee Trevino (1971).

In 2009, Mark Calcavecchia scored nine consecutive birdies at the second round, breaking the PGA Tour record.

Canadian performances
Until 2023, a Canadian citizen had not won the Canadian Open since Pat Fletcher in 1954, and since 1914 for a player born in Canada. One of the most exciting conclusions ever seen at the Open came in 2004, extending that streak. Mike Weir had never done well at the Glen Abbey Golf Course, the site of the tournament that week. In fact, he had only made the cut once at any of the Opens contested at Glen Abbey. But Weir clawed his way to the top of the leaderboard by Friday. And by the third day at the 100th anniversary Open, he had a three-stroke lead, and many Canadians were buzzing about the possibility of the streak's end. Weir started off with a double bogey, but then went 4-under to keep his 3-stroke lead, with only eight holes left. Yet, with the expectations of Canadian observers abnormally high, there was another roadblock in the way of Mike Weir: Vijay Singh. Weir bogeyed three holes on the back nine but still had a chance to win the tournament with a 10-footer on the 72nd hole. When he missed the putt, the two entered a sudden-death playoff. Weir missed two more chances to win the tournament: a 25-foot putt for eagle on No. 18 on the first hole of sudden-death, and a 5-foot putt on No. 17, the second playoff hole. On the third playoff hole, Weir put his third shot into the water after a horrid drive and lay-up, and Singh was safely on the green in two. Singh won the Open and overtook Tiger Woods as the world's number one player.

Canadian David Hearn took a two-shot lead into the final round in 2015. He still had the lead as late as the 15th hole, but was being closely pursued by three players ranked near the top of the Official World Golf Ranking – Bubba Watson, Jim Furyk, and Jason Day. All four golfers had chances to win right until the end. Hearn was overtaken by champion Day's three consecutive birdies to close the round; Day finished one shot ahead of Watson, who also birdied the final three holes, narrowly missing an eagle attempt on a final hole greenside chip that would have tied. Day's fourth career Tour triumph came after he had just missed a potential tying putt on the final hole at the Open Championship the previous week. Hearn finished third, the best result by a Canadian since Weir's near-miss in 2004. In 2016, Canadian amateur Jared du Toit was only one stroke behind going into the final round, allowing him to play in the final group. He finished tied for ninth, three strokes behind eventual winner Jhonattan Vegas.

In 2023, Canadian Nick Taylor finally broke the drought for the home country, dating back 69 years to 1954, winning in dramatic fashion at the Oakdale Golf & Country Club. He birdied the final hole to tie Englishman Tommy Fleetwood (who made par) at 17 under par after 72 holes. On the fourth sudden death hole, Taylor made a 72 ft eagle to capture the title.

Rudy Larriva

Rudolph Larriva (February 12, 1916 – February 19, 2010) was an American animator and director from the 1940s to the 1980s.

Early life
Born in El Paso, Texas, which his parents moved out at the age of two, he attended several grammar schools, and graduated from John C. Fremont High School with a major in commercial art, but never went to college. He was of Mexican descent.

Career
Larriva worked at a number of studios, including Format Films, Filmation, and Walt Disney Productions, but is best known for his work at Warner Bros. Cartoons and UPA. He was an animator in Chuck Jones' unit, starting in 1939 with the short Dog Gone Modern. He later animated for shorts like Elmer's Pet Rabbit and Porky's Cafe. Larriva was considered by Jones to be his top animator in the late 1930s and early 1940s, where he particularly delivered Disney-quality animation.

Some of the productions he worked on include Song of the South, Mr. Magoo, The Unicorn in the Garden, Gerald McBoing Boing, The Alvin Show, The Lone Ranger, the 1965–1967 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons for Format Films, and Fangface. He was also the animation director of The Twilight Zone opening titles for 1959–1960.

He died in Irvine, California on February 19, 2010, aged 94. Larriva was buried in Eternal Hills Cemetery in Oceanside, California in March of that year. He is survived by his son and his three grandchildren.

Note: The Wile E. Coyote/Road Runner cartoons in the above list are sometimes called the "Larriva Eleven."

Tagged queuing

Tagged queuing is a method for allowing a hardware device or controller to process commands received from a device driver out of order. It requires that the device driver attaches a tag to each command which the controller or device can later use to identify the response to the command.

Tagged queueing can speed up processing considerably if a controller serves devices of very different speeds, such as an SCSI controller serving a mix of CD-ROM drives and high-speed disks. In such cases if a request to fetch data from the CD-ROM is shortly followed by a request to read from the disk, the controller doesn't have to wait for the CD-ROM to fetch the data, it can instead instruct the disk to fetch the data and return the value to the device driver, while the CD-ROM is probably still seeking.

Label

A label (as distinct from signage) is a piece of paper, plastic film, cloth, metal, or other material affixed to a container or product, on which is written or printed information or symbols about the product or item. Information printed directly on a container or article can also be considered labelling.

Labels have many uses, including promotion and providing information on a product's origin, the manufacturer (e.g., brand name), use, safety, shelf-life and disposal, some or all of which may be governed by legislation such as that for food in the UK or United States. Methods of production and attachment to packaging are many and various and may also be subject to internationally recognised standards. In many countries, hazardous products such as poisons or flammable liquids must have a warning label.

Uses
Labels may be used for any combination of identification, information, warning, instructions for use, environmental advice or advertising. They may be stickers, permanent or temporary labels or printed packaging.

Products
Permanent product identification by a label is commonplace; labels need to remain secure throughout the life of the product. For example, a VIN plate on an automobile must be resistant to heat, oils and tampering; similarly, a food label must endure until the food has been used. Removable product labels need to bond until they are removed. For example, a label on a new refrigerator has installation, usage and environmental information: the label needs to be able to be removed cleanly and easily from the unit once installed.

Labels for food and beverages typically include critical information pertinent to the contents or ingredients used in a product, and may also state allergy risks such as the presence of gluten or soy. For example, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides standards to regulate the information provided on the labels and packaging of wine and spirits. These labels include information like brand name, class and type designation, and alcohol content.

Packaging
Packaging may have labeling attached to or integral to the package. These may carry pricing, barcodes, UPC identification, usage guidance, addresses, advertising, recipes, and so on. They also may be used to help resist or indicate tampering or pilferage.

Assets
In industrial or military environments, asset labeling is used to clearly identify assets for maintenance and operational purposes. Such labels are frequently made of engraved Traffolyte or a similar material. They are usually tamper-evident, permanent or frangible and usually contain a barcode for electronic identification using readers. For example, the US Military uses a UID system for its assets.

Shelf / Rack labels
The storage locations in shelves are often marked with a shelf label (possibly also with a barcode or numbering). They can be self-adhesive, magnetic or slide-in.

Textiles
Garments normally carry separate care/treatment labels which, in some regions, are subject to legislation. These labels typically indicate how the item should be washed (e.g., machine washed vs. dry cleaning), whether bleach can be used. Textile labels may be woven into the garment or attached, and can be heat resistant (so survivable in hot-air dryers and when pressed), colorfast (so does not bleed onto the garment), washable, leather or PVC/Plastic. Printed labels are an alternative to woven labels. Some upholstered furniture and mattresses have labels that are required by law, describing the contents of the stuffing.

Textiles containing pesticides as an ingredient may also require government approval and compulsory labeling. In the USA, for example, labels have to state the pesticide registration number, statement of ingredients, storage and disposal information, and the following statement: "It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling”. A label including a company name or identification number and a material content list may also be required.

Mailing
Mailing labels identify the addressee, the sender and any other information which may be useful in transit. Many software packages such as word processor and contact manager programs produce standardized mailing labels from a data set that comply with postal standards. These labels may also include routing barcodes and special handling requirements to expedite delivery.

Specialized labels

 * Notebook labels are mainly used for identifying the owner and purpose of the notebook. Some information on a label may include name, contents, and date started.
 * Piggyback labels are made by combining two layers of adhesive substrate. The bottom layer forms the backing for the top. The label can be applied to any object as normal, the top layer can be a removable label that can be applied elsewhere, which may change the message or marking on the remaining label underneath. Often used on Express mail envelopes. Other applications include price change labels where when being scanned at the till, the till assistant can peel back the price-reduction label and scan the original barcode enabling stock flow management. These labels are also seen on magazine subscription renewals, allowing customers to re-subscribe to the magazine with an easy peel-and-stick label sent back. Also, as the retained label is adhesive free it prevents customers from re-applying the cheaper-priced labels to premium products.
 * Smart labels have RFID chips embedded under the label stock.
 * Blockout labels are not see-through at all, concealing what lies underneath with a strong gray adhesive.
 * Radioactive labels. The use of radioactive isotopes of chemical elements, such as carbon-14, to allow the in vivo tracking of chemical compounds.
 * Laser or printer labels are generally die cut on 8.5" x 11" (US letter) or A4 sized sheets, and come in many different shapes, sizes, formats and materials. Laser label material is a nonporous stock made to withstand the intense heat of laser printers and copiers. A drawback of laser labels is that the entire sheet needs to be printed before any labels are used; once labels have been removed the sheet cannot be put through the printer again without damaging the printing mechanism. Inkjet label material is a porous stock made to accept ink and dye from an inkjet printer. One of the more modern inkjet label material stocks is waterproof printable inkjet material commonly used for soap or shower gel containers.
 * Security labels are used for anti-counterfeiting, brand protection, tamper-evident seals and anti-pilferage seals. These combine a number of overt and covert features to make reproduction difficult. The use of security printing, holography, embossing, barcodes, RFID chips, custom printing and weak (or weakened) backings are common. They are used for authentication, theft reduction, and protection against counterfeit and are commonly used on ID cards, credit cards, packaging, and products from CDs to electronics to clothing.
 * Antimicrobial labels. With the growth in hospital-acquired infections such as MRSA and E-Coli, the use of antimicrobial labels in infection-sensitive areas of hospitals are helping in combating these types of microbes.
 * Fold-out labels, also known as booklet, multi-page, multi-layer, or extended labels, or lablets (combined label + leaflet). Where the pack is not large enough for a single label to carry all the required information, fold-out labels are often preferred to separate leaflets, which can easily be lost. These labels are frequently seen on agricultural chemicals and consumer pharmaceuticals.
 * Barcode labels A large proportion of labels produced today carry barcodes, either for product identification, for traceability in items such as freight packages, and on items requiring brand authentication and protection. There are many different formats of barcodes found on labels, but one of the most commonly distributed formats is the International Article Number (EAN). This is the code used to identify retail products worldwide and is found on almost all consumer-level packaging labels.
 * Shrink Sleeve labels provide full 360-degree coverage on a container or bottle. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-modified (PETG) are two commonly used shrink-sleeve materials. Shrink sleeves can be applied to uniquely shaped bottles or standard containers and can be printed with metallic features, textured/raised features, UV inks, and matt or glossy finishes.

Stock types
Label "stock" is the carrier which is commonly coated on one side with adhesive and printed on the other, and can be:
 * Paper - a variety of papers and paperboards can be used as labels
 * Nonwoven fabric - for extra durability
 * Latex – a lithographic stock with some added latex allows the label to be much more flexible and form around certain curved objects more easily than standard paper;
 * Plastics such as acetate, vinyl, and PET film allow a variety of features, such as greater strength, stiffness, transparency and resistance to tearing. They typically require special equipment and printing methods (ultra-violet curing is common) as they do not normally print well with conventional ink. A bumper sticker is usually a vinyl label with a very strong, durable adhesive and lightfast inks.  Embossing tape is "printed" by pressing raised elements similar to printing type onto it, which produces raised glyphs that look white due to the discoloration of the plastic. A type known as 'destructible vinyl' is commonly used for asset labels. It combines a very thin frangible face stock with a very strong high tack adhesive, thus making the label impossible to remove without damaging it. Engraved multi-layer Traffolyte labels are frequently used in industrial situations due to their durability;
 * Foil – Aluminum foil and vapor-coated plastic films are often chosen for the bright reflective characteristics;
 * Thermal – direct thermal label stock will change color (usually black) when heated. A heating element in the shape of letters or images can be used to create an image on the label. Custom labels can be easily made on location in this way. A disadvantage is durability, because another heat source can ruin or obscure the image, or it may fade completely over time;
 * Thermal transfer for applications that cannot use thermal (thermal direct) label material because of heat source proximity or short label life, a more widely used material is the thermal transfer label printer. This material has the advantage of a much longer readable life and does not fade with time or heat. Most major manufacturers of thermal printers can be used for either thermal transfer (TT) or thermal (DT) labels. A thermal transfer ribbon will be required to print the labels. The cost of the ribbons + TT labels is similar to that of the DT labels on their own;
 * Thermal transfer ribbon types:
 * Wax is the most popular as it has some smudge resistance, and is suitable for matte and semi-gloss paper labels;
 * Wax and resin are smudge resistant, suitable for semi-gloss paper and some synthetic labels;
 * Resin is scratch and chemical-resistant, suitable for coated synthetic labels;
 * None – labels can be printed directly on adhesive without using a substrate. Labels made in this manner are extremely fragile, however, and have been rendered virtually obsolete by other printing methods such as silk screen;

The stock type will affect the types of ink that will print well on them. Corona-treating or flame-treating some plastics makes them more receptive to inks, coatings, and other substrates by reducing surface tension and improving the overall adhesion of the plastics.

An alternative method of labelling is weaving the text directly into the fabric.

Attachment
Labels can be attached by:
 * Heat-activated adhesives: for example, "in-mold labeling" can be part of blow molding containers and employs heat activated adhesives. Hot melt adhesives are also used.
 * Pressure-sensitive adhesives (also called PSA or self-stick) are applied with light pressure without activation or heat. PSA labels often have release liners which protect the adhesive and assist label handling.
 * Rivets used to attach information plates to industrial equipment.
 * Shrink wrap for printed shrinkable labels placed over packages and then heated to shrink them.
 * Sewing for fabrics such as clothing, tents, mattresses and industrial sacks.
 * Wet glue such as starch, dextrin, PVA or water moistenable gummed adhesive.
 * Yarn, twine or plastic tie, usually referred to as a swing tag.
 * Static cling, where "stickers" have a static charge enabling them to attach without adhesive to smooth surfaces such as glass.

Pressure-sensitive adhesive types
Pressure-sensitive adhesives for labels are commonly acrylic based adhesives, with a smaller volume made using solvent-coated rubber adhesives and hot-melt coated adhesives. The most common adhesive types are:
 * Permanent – Typically not designed to be removed without tearing the stock, damaging the surface, or using solvents. The adhesion strength and speed can also be varied. For example, full adhesion can be nearly instant, or the label can be almost removable for a short period with full adhesion developing in minutes or hours (known as repositionable adhesives).
 * Peelable – Adhesion is fairly strong and will not fall off in normal circumstances, but the label can be removed relatively easily without tearing the base stock or leaving adhesive behind on the old surface. The adhesive is usually strong enough to be applied again elsewhere. This type is frequently known as 'removable'. There are many different types of removable adhesives, some are almost permanent, and some are almost 'ultra peelable'.
 * Ultra-peelable – Designed principally for use on book covers and glass, when removed these adhesive labels do not leave any residue whatsoever. Adhesion is weak and only suitable for light-duty applications. Normally these labels have very little adhesion to anything once they've been removed.
 * Freezer or frost fix – Most permanent and peelable adhesives have a service temperature limit of -10 degrees Celsius, whereas freezer (otherwise known as frost fix) adhesives have a service temperature of -40 degrees Celsius and are suitable for deep freeze use.
 * High tack – A type of permanent adhesive that exhibits a high initial grab to the application surfaces, and is commonly used at higher coat weights to enable labels to adhere strongly to difficult, rough or dirty surfaces.

Application
Labels may be supplied separately or on a roll or sheet. Many labels are pre-printed by the manufacturer. Others have printing applied manually or automatically at the time of application. Specialized high-speed label printer applicators may be used to apply labels to packages; these and other methods may be subject to recognized standards. Some labels have protective overcoats, laminates, or tape to cover them after the final print is applied. This is sometimes before application and sometimes after. Labels are often difficult to peel and apply. A label dispenser can speed up this task.

Usability
Aspects such as legibility, literacy and interpretation come into play for users of labels, and label writers therefore need some degree of professional writing skill. Depending upon country or region, international standards may be applied. Where literacy may be an issue, pictograms may feature alongside text, such as those advanced by CropLife International in their Responsible Use manual. Labels or printed packaging may include Braille to aid users with visual impairment.

Criticism of label readability is not uncommon; for example, Canadian researchers found that medicine labels did not consistently follow legibility guidelines. In some countries and industries, for example the UK (food) and EU (medicines) label guidelines are not legally binding (the latter using phrases such as "The type size should be as large as possible to aid readers...") and thus are unenforceable. On the other hand, countries may stipulate legal minima for readability, such as the USA's FDA on nutritional information and Australia/New Zealand's code for food labels and packs.

Compliance
Labels of sustainability standards and certification such as organic food and energy efficiency class labels are often intended to confirm compliance with relevant social and environmental considerations, enabling consumers and other purchasers to make more ethical decisions in terms of the environmental impact of products.

Labels such as the European Eco-label and those issued by sustainability standards organisations may be used by businesses and public bodies to confirm compliance. Public procurement regulations in the European Union and the United Kingdom require that label requirements only include those which are "linked to the subject-matter of the contract".

In June 2023, the Scientific Advice Mechanism to the European Commission concluded that the effectiveness of food labelling related to health impacts was "low to moderate" according to available evidence, and that "shaping the information environment through labelling is necessary but not sufficient to advance healthy and sustainable diets".

The approach of labels can involve a trade-off between financial considerations and higher cost requirements in effort or time for the product-selection from the many available options.

Impact of labels on the environment
Labels may affect the environment during manufacture, use, and post-use. Choice of backings, coatings, adhesives and liners can be strong factors. Environmental regulations and guidelines can come from many sources. Users of labels on packaging may consider some of the sustainable packaging guidelines. Based on the solid waste hierarchy, the quantity and size of labels should be minimized without reducing the necessary functionality. The material content of a label should comply with applicable regulations. Life cycle assessments of the item being labeled and of the label itself are useful to identify and improve possible environmental effects. For example, reuse or recycling are sometimes aided by a label being removable from a surface.

If a label remains on an item during recycling, a label should be chosen which does not hinder the recyclability of the item. For example, when labeled corrugated boxes are recycled, wet strength paper labels do not hinder box recycling: the PSA adhesive stays with the backing and is easily removed. Paper backings without wet strength may release their adhesives, potentially contaminating recycling efforts. Labels can aid in recycling and reuse by communicating the material content of the item, instructions for disassembly or recycling directions. An eco-label is used on consumer products (including foods) to identify products that may be less damaging to the environment and/or humans than other related products, such as sustainable seafood encouraged by Friend of the Sea.

Color
Ink and base stock color choices commonly conform to the Pantone Matching System (PMS) colors. The Pantone system is very dominant in the label printing industry. Additionally, specialty inks such as metallic, UV ink, magnetic ink, and more are available. Ink is usually transparent however it can be made opaque. It has been known for certain companies to patent "their own" color. Digital labels use process colors to replicate Pantone solid colors.

Collectability
Collecting labels is a worldwide phenomenon, from labels used on matchboxes and foodstuffs (e.g., cheese), wine, to printed packages. Collectors are attracted to labels both for their influence on artistic design and the history of retailing.

Fast wavelet transform

The fast wavelet transform is a mathematical algorithm designed to turn a waveform or signal in the time domain into a sequence of coefficients based on an orthogonal basis of small finite waves, or wavelets. The transform can be easily extended to multidimensional signals, such as images, where the time domain is replaced with the space domain. This algorithm was introduced in 1989 by Stéphane Mallat.

It has as theoretical foundation the device of a finitely generated, orthogonal multiresolution analysis (MRA). In the terms given there, one selects a sampling scale J with sampling rate of 2J per unit interval, and projects the given signal f onto the space $$V_J$$; in theory by computing the scalar products

 * $$s^{(J)}_n:=2^J \langle f(t),\varphi(2^J t-n) \rangle,$$

where $$\varphi$$ is the scaling function of the chosen wavelet transform; in practice by any suitable sampling procedure under the condition that the signal is highly oversampled, so
 * $$ P_J[f](x):=\sum_{n\in\Z} s^{(J)}_n\,\varphi(2^Jx-n)$$

is the orthogonal projection or at least some good approximation of the original signal in $$V_J$$.

The MRA is characterised by its scaling sequence

 * $$a=(a_{-N},\dots,a_0,\dots,a_N)$$ or, as Z-transform, $$a(z)=\sum_{n=-N}^Na_nz^{-n}$$

and its wavelet sequence

 * $$b=(b_{-N},\dots,b_0,\dots,b_N)$$ or $$b(z)=\sum_{n=-N}^Nb_nz^{-n}$$

(some coefficients might be zero). Those allow to compute the wavelet coefficients $$d^{(k)}_n$$, at least some range k=M,...,J-1, without having to approximate the integrals in the corresponding scalar products. Instead, one can directly, with the help of convolution and decimation operators, compute those coefficients from the first approximation $$s^{(J)}$$.

Forward DWT
For the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), one computes recursively, starting with the coefficient sequence $$s^{(J)}$$ and counting down from k = J - 1 to some M < J,

s^{(k)}_n:=\frac12 \sum_{m=-N}^N a_m s^{(k+1)}_{2n+m} $$ or $$ s^{(k)}(z):=(\downarrow 2)(a^*(z)\cdot s^{(k+1)}(z)) $$ and

d^{(k)}_n:=\frac12 \sum_{m=-N}^N b_m s^{(k+1)}_{2n+m} $$ or $$ d^{(k)}(z):=(\downarrow 2)(b^*(z)\cdot s^{(k+1)}(z)) $$,

for k=J-1,J-2,...,M and all $$n\in\Z$$. In the Z-transform notation:
 * The downsampling operator $$(\downarrow 2)$$ reduces an infinite sequence, given by its Z-transform, which is simply a Laurent series, to the sequence of the coefficients with even indices, $$(\downarrow 2)(c(z))=\sum_{k\in\Z}c_{2k}z^{-k}$$.
 * The starred Laurent-polynomial $$a^*(z)$$ denotes the adjoint filter, it has time-reversed adjoint coefficients, $$a^*(z)=\sum_{n=-N}^N a_{-n}^*z^{-n}$$. (The adjoint of a real number being the number itself, of a complex number its conjugate, of a real matrix the transposed matrix, of a complex matrix its hermitian adjoint).
 * Multiplication is polynomial multiplication, which is equivalent to the convolution of the coefficient sequences.

It follows that

 * $$P_k[f](x):=\sum_{n\in\Z} s^{(k)}_n\,\varphi(2^kx-n)$$

is the orthogonal projection of the original signal f or at least of the first approximation $$P_J[f](x)$$ onto the subspace $$V_k$$, that is, with sampling rate of 2k per unit interval. The difference to the first approximation is given by

 * $$P_J[f](x)=P_k[f](x)+D_k[f](x)+\dots+D_{J-1}[f](x), $$

where the difference or detail signals are computed from the detail coefficients as

 * $$D_k[f](x):=\sum_{n\in\Z} d^{(k)}_n\,\psi(2^kx-n), $$

with $$\psi$$ denoting the mother wavelet of the wavelet transform.

Inverse DWT
Given the coefficient sequence $$s^{(M)}$$ for some M < J and all the difference sequences $$d^{(k)}$$, k = M,...,J − 1, one computes recursively

s^{(k+1)}_n:=\sum_{k=-N}^N a_k s^{(k)}_{2n-k}+\sum_{k=-N}^N b_k d^{(k)}_{2n-k} $$ or $$ s^{(k+1)}(z)=a(z)\cdot(\uparrow 2)(s^{(k)}(z))+b(z)\cdot(\uparrow 2)(d^{(k)}(z)) $$ for k = J − 1,J − 2,...,M and all $$n\in\Z$$. In the Z-transform notation:
 * The upsampling operator $$(\uparrow 2)$$ creates zero-filled holes inside a given sequence. That is, every second element of the resulting sequence is an element of the given sequence, every other second element is zero or $$(\uparrow 2)(c(z)):=\sum_{n\in\Z}c_nz^{-2n}$$. This linear operator is, in the Hilbert space $$\ell^2(\Z,\R)$$, the adjoint to the downsampling operator $$(\downarrow 2)$$.
