Materials recovery facility

A materials recovery facility, materials reclamation facility, materials recycling facility or multi re-use facility (MRF, pronounced "murf") is a specialized waste sorting and recycling system that receives, separates and prepares recyclable materials for marketing to end-user manufacturers. Generally, the main recyclable materials include ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal, plastics, paper, glass. Organic food waste is used to anaerobic digestion or composting. Inorganic inert waste is used to make building materials. Non-recyclable high calorific value waste is used to making RDF and SRF.

Industry and locations
In the United States, there are over 300 materials recovery facilities. The total market size is estimated at $6.6B as of 2019.

As of 2016, the top 75 were headed by Sims Municipal Recycling out of Brooklyn, New York. Waste Management operated 95 MRF facilities total, with 26 in the top 75. ReCommunity operated 6 in the top 75. Republic Services operated 6 in the top 75. Waste Connections operated 4 in the top 75.

Business economics
In 2018, a survey in the Northeast United States found that the processing cost per ton was $82, versus a value of around $45 per ton. Composition of the ton included 28% mixed paper and 24% old corrugated containers (OCC).

Prices for OCC declined into 2019. Three paper mill companies have announced initiatives to use more recycled fiber.

Glass recycling is expensive for these facilities, but a study estimated that costs could be cut significantly by investments in improved glass processing. In Texas, Austin and Houston have facilities which have invested glass recycling, built and operated by Balcones Recycling and FCC Environment, respectively.

Robots have spread across the industry, helping with sorting.

Process
Waste enters a MRF when it is dumped onto the tipping floor by the collection trucks. The materials are then scooped up and placed onto conveyor belts, which transports it to the pre-sorting area. Here, human workers remove some items that are not recyclable, which will either be sent to a landfill or an incinerator. Between 5 and 45% of "dirty" MRF material is recovered. Potential hazards are also removed, such as lithium batteries, propane tanks, and aerosol cans, which can create fires. Materials like plastic bags and hoses, which can entangle the recycling equipment, are also removed. From there, materials are transported via another conveyer belt to the disk screen, which separates wide and flat materials like flattened cardboard boxes from items like cans, jars, paper, and bottles. Flattened boxes ride across the disk screen to the other side, while all other materials fall below, where paper is separated from the waste stream with a blower. The stream of cardboard and paper is overseen by more human workers, who ensure no plastic, metal, or glass is present. Newer MRFs or retrofitted ones may use industrial robots instead of humans for pre-sorting and for quality control. However, complete removal of human labor from the sortation process is unlikely for the foreseeable future, as one needs to replicate the dexterity of the human hand and nervous system for removing every type of contaminant within a material stream. The technical limitations of this involve advanced concepts in mechatronics and computer science, where a robot hand would need to be designed, and a highly flexible algorithm that creates another precise movement algorithm within the time constraints of the system (say, the highly approximate estimate of 30,000 lines of code to do this on a modern processor would trigger too long of a delay to be effective on a sortation line). In other words, one would need to search an encyclopedia of said robotic hand motions for every configuration of waste for every pick, and this may be computationally insurmountable, even with quantum computing, as every conditional would need to be checked every iteration.

Metal is separated from plastics and glass first with electromagnets, which removes ferrous metals. Non-ferrous metals like aluminum are then removed with eddy current separators.

The glass and plastic streams are separated by further disk screens. The glass is crushed into cullet for ease of transportation. The plastics are then separated by polymer type, often using infrared technology (optical sorting). Infrared light reflects differently off different polymer types; once identified, a jet of air shoots the plastic into the appropriate bin. MRFs might only collect and recycle a few polymers of plastic, sending the rest to landfills or incinerators. The separated materials are baled and sent to the shipping dock of the facility.

Clean
A clean MRF accepts recyclable materials that have already been separated at the source from municipal solid waste generated by either residential or commercial sources. There are a variety of clean MRFs. The most common are single stream where all recyclable material is mixed, or dual stream MRFs, where source-separated recyclables are delivered in a mixed container stream (typically glass, ferrous metal, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, PET [No.1] and HDPE [No.2] plastics) and a mixed paper stream including corrugated cardboard boxes, newspapers, magazines, office paper and junk mail. Material is sorted to specifications, then baled, shredded, crushed, compacted, or otherwise prepared for shipment to market.

Mixed-waste processing facility (MWPF) / Dirty MRF

A mixed-waste processing system, sometimes referred to as a dirty MRF, accepts a mixed solid waste stream and then proceeds to separate out designated recyclable materials through a combination of manual and mechanical sorting. The sorted recyclable materials may undergo further processing required to meet technical specifications established by end-markets while the balance of the mixed waste stream is sent to a disposal facility such as a landfill. Today, MWPFs are attracting renewed interest as a way to address low participation rates for source-separated recycling collection systems and prepare fuel products and/or feedstocks for conversion technologies. MWPFs can give communities the opportunity to recycle at much higher rates than has been demonstrated by curbside or other waste collection systems. Advances in technology make today’s MWPF different and, in many respects better, than older versions.

Wet MRF
Around 2004, new mechanical biological treatment technologies were beginning to utilise wet MRFs. These combine a dirty MRF with water, which acts to densify, separate and clean the output streams. It also hydrocrushes and dissolves biodegradable organics in solution to make them suitable for anaerobic digestion.

History
In the United States, modern MRFs began in the 1970s. Peter Karter established Resource Recovery Systems, Inc. in Branford, Connecticut, the "first materials recovery facility (MRF)" in the US.

On Gödel’s Conjecture
Abstract:‘Not (proved or disproved)’does not exhaust all reference to ‘proved’, or ‘disproved’.

Gödel presents his Incompleteness Theorems as proof that in natural numbers, inductively (recursively) generated as a ‘denumerably infinite’ set large enough for his numbering procedure, there is no consistent and complete formalization of elementary arithmetic. His proof is conditional on the axioms of Principia Mathematica [PM], with the added axiom of infinity (in the form he wants it, viz. ‘there are exactly denumerably many individuals’), the axiom of choice, and Zermelo-Fraenkel-von Neumann axioms of set theory appended to the Peano Postulates,[Collected Works Vol.1, OUP 1986 p.124]. He says, "…all methods of proof used in mathematics today have been formalized in them, i.e. reduced to a few axioms and rules of inference. It may therefore be conjectured (Vermutung) that these axioms and rules of inference are also sufficient to decide all mathematical questions which can in any way at all be expressed formally in the systems concerned", (p.145). For his conjecture to hold he also needs to have shown that only valid formulae follow from the rule-following inferences he relies on of PM.

If ‘p’is taken as true, and ‘-p’ false, the logical and the formalist equivalence and truth of: |p| < = > |(- -p)| < = > |(p or -p)| < = >|-(p and -p)|, viz. the laws of double negation, excluded middle and non-contradiction follow. Any one statement taken as true implies implies the truth of any and all the others. Based on the same axioms and rules of inference, on which Gödel [p.145] claims in his second theorem that in a formally deductive system, an arithmetical statement 'cannot be proved or disproved', i.e. '-(p or -p)', and hence is undecidable from within that system; he could have added that it is also 'not |-(p and -p)|' i.e. ‘proved and disproved'; and ‘-p’, i.e. ‘disproved’. ‘Not (proved or disproved)’ does not exhaust all reference to ‘proved’, or ‘disproved’.

The law of Double Negation is |-|-p| < = > |p|. There are only two ways about it, either p or else -p, viz. the law of the excluded middle |p or -p|. |-|-p| is another way of writing |p|, and |p or –p|. Against Gödel, it is only necessary to show that the law of excluded middle |p or -p| entails that of non-contradiction |-(p and –p)|. When only |p or -p| is true, |p and -p| is false, |-|p and -p| is true viz. the law of non-contradiction. Equivalent steps of deduction are used in PM. The equivalence of |p or -p| and |-|p and -p|, also follows by De Morgan’s Rules (included in the PM) starting from either side.

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS. dbenbenn | talk 17:55, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Alleged U.S. war criminals now Allegations of war crimes against U.S. officials
Hopelessly POV, no way to make an encyclopedic NPOV article out of this. Also qualifies as "original research", since this person seems to be listing names on his own authority. -- Curps 08:37, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Take a look at all the REFERENCES in the article, at least one per every individual listed. That's more that can be said about Mass deaths and atrocities of the twentieth century, an article drawing on the work of a couple of rightwing libertarian ideologies like Rummel. GSherman 10:08, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * First of all, you added all these references just now, after this page was already listed here. In any case, the NPOV part remains. -- Curps 10:15, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * What part of "alleged" in the title don't you understand? We can report what other people are saying, and readers can decide for themselves. You apparently just want to report the views that you support. GSherman 10:17, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Using bold typeface is the equivalent of shouting on the internet and is considered impolite. Please avoid it in the future. If you have any other questions please refer to Wikiquette. -DaveTheRed

 * Keep If you are not aware of the scores of scholars and human rights activists who accuse each of these U.S. officials of war crimes, then you are too ignorant to work on it. (I will add them, but this article for now, just like every other article on this site according to all the disclaimers that I have been reading, is a work in progress.) It is not "original research." Actually, I know that "original research" is not the real motive to get rid this article. I'm sure that this article (long overdue) will come under attack by many users who are the moral equivalent to Holocaust deniers. GSherman 08:46, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * You seem to be a new user. You should read Neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not a place for polemical essays. -- Curps 08:48, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * No, you should read the NPOV policy. I am merely reporting what some human rights activists and scholars have written on a number of important U.S. figures; you are violating the NPOV policy by attempting to cover up their allegations (notice that the article deals with alleged war criminals). GSherman 09:09, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * DeleteThis article lists every U.S. President since Kennedy, minus Carter. Wikipedia is not the place for an POV indictment against U.S. foreign policy. DaveTheRed 09:10, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Without wishing to actually support this article, no it doesn't. It lists people who served in the administrations of those Presidents, but only Reagan, Bush the Elder and Clinton are mentioned themselves. TSP 09:50, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I meant to say "presidential administration", not "president." Lazy grammar on my part. But my point still rings true. DaveTheRed
 * Delete. This page is irredeemably POV.  Morwen - Talk 09:33, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I can just about believe that this COULD be NPOV, if exact details of who had accused that person of war crimes were included (and limited to formal sources). If it were, though, it would probably live somewhere like US Citizens accused of war crimes - or be incorporated into List of war crimes (which itself has issues with encyclopaedicness at the moment).  On this page, I have to say delete. TSP 09:50, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete. Hopelessly POV. Such allegations could be (and probably are) mentioned on the individual pages of the "accused" if there's any basis for it. See Henry Kissinger for example Preisler 10:18, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: I don't like US foreign policy much, but this page is heavily POV and not really useful --- Chris 73 Talk 10:26, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment The same user has now created Category:Alleged U.S. war criminals, which I have listed in Categories for deletion. -- Curps 10:39, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but include details of who accuses whom of what. Burschik 11:08, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Hopelessly POV. Stereotek 11:14, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep A valid topic and relatively well-referenced. JMaxwell 11:22, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Heavy POV content. Delete unless rewritten. - Mike Rosoft 13:13, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Only keep if rewritten utterly. Only accusations made by notable international groups (e.g. Amnesty International, Reporters Sans Frontières, Human Rights Watch, Center for Constitutional Rights) should be listed, and the group making the accusation explicitly stated. Any group we don't have an article for doesn't count. Links to articles from the accusing organisation required, rather than second hand website reports. Average Earthman 13:27, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't particularly care for an article that starts with 'alleged'. This one is too propagandistic imho. Delete. Radiant! 13:32, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete pov and unlikely to become npov. Wincoote 14:57, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)$
 * One-way ticket to the trash can Inherently subjective. Phils 15:20, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is another list, and has all the usual problems of such, centering on the problem that the criterion for inclusion on the list is unclear and not agreed, and even when the criterion is relatively clear, it is still often a POV whether something should be listed or not.   Unlike regular articles, where facts and arguments related to the matter can be presented, lists are binary: something is either on the list or it is not.  Of necessity, if there is a dispute over inclusion, one POV gets to win, since an item can't be both on a  particular list and not on it at the same time.  That means that many lists inherently violate NPOV.  People reacting negatively to this list might reconsider their support for a substantial number of the list articles. --BM 16:52, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or rewrite and rename with sledgehammer --- If this were a "Perspectives on U.S. military actions, 20th Century-Present" article, it might stand a chance of being NPOV. Right now, even the title is slanted. jdb ❋ (talk) 18:01, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - should be speedy deleted as libel (note that putting "alleged" in front of an accusation has no legal effect as far as libel law is concerned), jguk 19:44, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete agenda-driven and potentially libelous — RJH 19:46, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge relavent info onto individual pages where appropriate. The article by itself is irredeemably POV. --InShaneee 20:58, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, cleanup and expand. Megan1967 22:35, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This doesn't belong in an encyclopedia, or any rational literature. 22:56, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Note: Comment by Trampled. --InShaneee 16:17, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Created to further a POV. Szyslak 03:52, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into Peace Movement and link to that section from War Crimes, noting the use of labelling individuals as war criminals as part of protests against war. Stirling Newberry 04:40, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with International criminal court if in fact indictments exist as examples of unheard potential cases, otherwise this needs a top-to-bottom reworking and rewrite. As it stands now, the article/list is POV. One of the first things I was taught in journalism school is that the word "alleged" is not a protection against libel, and should not be used to further an agenda. My biggest problem is the article itself reads like a criminal indictment document which renders it completely POV because there will be people wanting to argue the opposite. 23skidoo 04:45, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, Clean Up, Expand but rename to something more obective, like "U.S. officials accused of war crimes," and identify/document accusers and accusations in greater detail. --BD2412 05:21, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep/retitle or merge preferable Just make sure that none of these officials are indicted by any legitimate authority (a disclaimer that ought to be noted in the intro) but rather accused of a host of things by advocacy groups. Note that we have similar pages; they just are not as controversial on Wiki since they deal with regimes that are not friendly with the U.S. 172 06:48, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Possibly rewrite, but shouldn't be deleted simply because most people don't agree. Should be expanded on though.
 * Note: comment by 129.97.234.46. --InShaneee 16:07, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but clarify - I agree with BD2412's comments. - Mustafaa 22:13, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but rename, Clean Up, Expand, just as BD2412 argued above. --Zero 22:21, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, agree with BD2412 too. James F. (talk) 23:06, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Abstain for now. Only people who have been accused by actual legal bodies ought to be included in lists of war criminals.  "People who are popularly (falsely or otherwise) believed to be X" isn't encyclopedic.  -Sean Curtin 00:48, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * The allegations can and should be discussed in the articles of the respective individuals. Those articles will be debated aggressively enough to make sure that the allegations are credible, verifiable and notable.  This "list of" article is taking a hodgepodge of essentially unrelated events and presenting them in a way designed to imply a correlation.  I think this represents an insolvable problem for the article.  Delete.  (Since GSherman is essentially the sole contributor to the article so far, GFDL can be preserved by attributing the merged comments in the edit summaries.)  Rossami (talk) 05:54, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, obviously POV. Grue 13:59, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep only those allegations directed by notable, credible sources. Currently, among other outstanding issues, the article's emphasis needs to be placed on the responses to the allegations by those accused. The article is inherently one-sided unless the reader is provided with ... both sides. El_C 11:36, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Has potential but needs work. --Bucephalus 15:09, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Irreparably POV. There is no way this is ever going to be anything other than anti-American propaganda. -Aranel (" Sarah ") 00:53, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but article should not be merely a list of the accused, with only blind external links to the accusers. In each case, it is relevant who is bringing the accusation. This could be an NPOV article if it were done that way. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:08, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and NPOV. Rhobite 01:44, Feb 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but improve along the lines suggested by BD2412, El_C, and Jmabel.    Although past VfD votes don't establish binding precedents, I note that List of Japanese War Atrocities survived VfD even without the "alleged" in the title.  In voting to delete that one (see discussion), I said, "NPOV permits citation of attributed charges of atrocities . . . ."  The article we're now voting on takes that approach. JamesMLane 05:02, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete hopelessly POV. --BenWilson 01:25, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, clearly not neutral and unlikely that it ever can be. There is room for Allegations of war crimes by the United States, but this should probably be written from scratch, and should make a clear distinction between war and war crimes, which this article does not.--Pharos 16:40, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Would do much to counter systemic bias to have a page detailing US war crimes as well as Japanese, German etc. Just because no American has been prosecuted for war crimes doesn't mean that they haven't occurred. GeorgeStepanek\talk  03:24, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, obviously List of notable schools in United States shows that everything American should be out of Wikipedia (see also WP:VFU). Grue 05:45, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Henry Bienen

Henry Samuel Bienen (born May 5, 1939) is an American academic and administrator. He was named President of the Poetry Foundation in 2015, and is President Emeritus of Northwestern University, where he served from 1995 to 2009.

Life and career
Bienen received a bachelor's degree with honors from Cornell University in 1960. He then received a master's degree in 1961 and a Ph.D. in 1966, both from the University of Chicago. In 1998, he was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He received the University of Chicago Professional Achievement Alumni Award in 2000.

Bienen served as dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Foreign Policy at Princeton University. During his early academic career, he was a respected analyst of ethnic conflict and the influence of the military and of violence on development in the third world and especially Africa. He was director of Princeton's Center of International Studies during 1985–92. Bienen also served on the Board of Directors of Bear Stearns beginning in 2004 until that firm's collapse during the financial crisis of 2008.

Bienen was a consultant to the US Department of State from 1972 to 1988, to the National Security Council from 1978 to 1979, to the CIA from 1982 to 1988, and to the World Bank from 1981 to 1989.

In 1995, Bienen succeeded Arnold R. Weber as president of Northwestern. During President Bienen's tenure, Northwestern underwent many changes.

Early on in his presidency, a strong undergraduate movement emerged calling on the university to add Asian American studies. The movement took a number of actions including a hunger strike, after facing resistance from the Northwestern Administration. Northwestern ultimately created the department after a few years of campus activity. In addition, Northwestern's athletic program had many successes during Bienen's term. Northwestern's football program, which historically had not been as strong as other Big Ten teams, improved. The team appeared in five bowl games during Bienen's tenure, including a 1996 trip to the Rose Bowl, its first in nearly fifty years.

Under his leadership, Northwestern embarked on a large fundraising campaign resulting in the construction of major new buildings on both the Evanston and Chicago campuses. Additions to the Evanston campus included the Center for Nanofabrication and Molecular Self-Assembly; the Ford Motor Company Engineering Design Center; and the McCormick Tribune Center, home to the Medill School of Journalism; and the Arthur and Gladys Pancoe-Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Life Sciences Pavilion. During Bienen's term The International Center for Advanced Internet Research (ICAIR) was also created at Northwestern in conjunction with IBM and other corporate partners and, on its Chicago campus, Northwestern opened the Robert H. Lurie Medical Research Center. President Bienen's time at Northwestern was also marked by sometimes difficult relations with Evanston, with one lawsuit against the city of Evanston reaching the US Supreme Court. Northwestern's relations with Evanston's mayor Lorraine H. Morton were more positive than with other city councilmen.

Retirement From Northwestern University
Bienen retired from his position as Northwestern University president on August 31, 2009, a decision announced by Patrick G. Ryan, chair of the university's board of trustees.

In September 2008, the Northwestern University School of Music was renamed the Henry and Leigh Bienen School of Music to honor President Bienen and his wife, Leigh Buchanan Bienen. In December 2008, Morton O. Schapiro was named President Bienen's successor.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!

Just a few quick tips:
 * Our Tutorial explains how to edit; you can experiment in the test area.
 * We have help pages, and if they don't help (can happen :-), post a question at the Help Desk.
 * Remember that we strive to have unbiased articles.
 * Eventually, you might want to read our Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Use the "Preview" button below the edit box! It helps you catch layout, format, and spelling errors before saving.
 * To sign your messages (to talk pages, for instance—like I do below), add four tildes (~~~~) to your posts. The software will replace them by your signature and a time stamp when you save the page.

Anyway, have fun improving this encyclopedia! Lupo 08:41, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Please do not remove the VfD notice from that page. Argue on this page why it should not be deleted instead. If the community consensus turns out to keep the article, then the VfD note will be removed. Lupo 08:41, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Three revert rule
For future reference, you should be aware of the Three Revert Rule. -- Curps 08:54, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Also, Dispute resolution, Neutral point of view -- Curps 08:55, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Once again, you should read Neutral point of view. Attempts to unilaterally impose a particular point of view usually fail. -- Curps 09:01, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

You are attempting to insert your POV opinions, transparent disclaimers to the contrary notwithstanding. -- Curps 09:13, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The three-revert rule applies to more than three reverts. I have done no more than three. -- Curps 09:22, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

War crimes
I'd like to suggest that you reconsider your approach to editing Wikipedia -- almost all of your edits will continue to be reverted, because they violate our policies, and you will quickly find yourself before the arbitration committee. Articles should report on significant criticisms made of an individual, and in several cases these obviously do include charges of war crimes. But such claims must be included in the proper context -- which is usually not the lead of the article -- and should report on the substance of the allegations, not merely the polemical labels used in making them. Instead of attempting to insert virtually identical text into dozens of articles, why don't you focus on one article which you think doesn't include enough coverage of the subject's critics, and expand it with accurate information presented from a neutral point of view? RadicalSubversiv E 11:36, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I should add that your edits will be far more likely to find acceptance if you engage in discussion on talk pages instead of just using up your three reverts. RadicalSubversiv E 11:39, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Personal attacks
I see that you have just made a personal attack against Curps. Please read and follow No personal attacks, a policy which we as a community take very seriously, and refrain from making such comments in the future. RadicalSubversiv E 11:42, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Tour Championship

The Tour Championship (stylized as the TOUR Championship) is a golf tournament that is part of the PGA Tour. It has historically been one of the final events of the PGA Tour season; prior to 2007, its field consisted exclusively of the top 30 money leaders of the past PGA Tour season.

Starting in 2007, it was the final event of the four-tournament FedEx Cup Playoffs, with eligibility determined by FedEx Cup points accumulated throughout the season. From 2019 onward, the FedEx Cup was reduced to three events, and the Tour Championship is now held in late August rather than mid-September.

While originally followed by the PGA Tour Fall Series (for those competing for qualifying exemptions in the following season), a re-alignment of the PGA Tour's season schedule in 2013 made the Tour Championship the final event of the season.

From 1987 to 1996, several courses hosted the event. Beginning in 1997, the event alternated between Champions Golf Club in Houston and East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta; since 2004, East Lake has been the event's permanent home.

Format: 1987–2006
From its debut in 1987 through 2006, the top 30 money winners on the PGA Tour after the penultimate event qualified for the event. It took place in early November, the week after the comparable event in Europe, the Volvo Masters, which allowed players who are members of both the PGA Tour and the European Tour to play in both end of season events. After the Tour Championship, the money list for the season was finalized. There were a number of additional events between the Tour Championship and Christmas which were recognized by the PGA Tour, but prize money won in them was unofficial. Also, because this tournament's field was not as large as other golf tournaments, there was no 36-hole cut; all players who started the event were credited with making the cut and received some prize money.

Format: 2007–2018

In 2007, the Tour Championship moved from November to mid-September, where it ended the four-tournament FedEx Cup Playoffs. As in past years, 30 players qualified for the event, but the basis for qualification was no longer prize money. Instead, FedEx Cup points accumulated during the regular PGA Tour season and then during the three preceding playoff events determined the participants. Beginning in 2009, the assignment and awarding of points assured that if any of the top five FedEx Cup point leaders entering The Tour Championship won the event, that player would also won the FedEx Cup. Therefore, it still remained possible for one player to win the Tour Championship and another player to win the FedEx Cup. For example, Tiger Woods won the 2018 Tour Championship but finished second in the FedEx Cup, while Justin Rose won the FedEx Cup despite finishing the tournament tied for fourth, because Woods entered the Tour Championship 20th in overall points while Rose was 2nd.

2007 was also the inaugural year for the Tour's Fall Series, which determined the rest of the top 125 players eligible for the following year's FedEx Cup, which made the event no longer the final tournament of the season. However, starting in 2013, the Tour Championship was the final tournament of the PGA Tour season; seasons begin in October of the previous calendar year. Since 2007, those who qualified for the Tour Championship earned a Masters Tournament invitation. For 2020, players who qualify for the Tour Championship will be invited to the Sentry Tournament of Champions, a byproduct of tournament cancellations from the coronavirus pandemic.

Prior to 2016, hole 18 at East Lake Golf Club was a par 3, which had been criticized as lacking drama for fans. Starting in 2016, the PGA Tour reversed the nines at East Lake for the Tour Championship so that play now finishes on a more exciting par 5 hole.

Format: 2019–present
Beginning in 2019, the tournament adopted a new format in order to ensure that the winner would also be the FedEx Cup champion. Using a method similar to the Gundersen method in Nordic combined, the player with the most FedEx Cup points leading into the tournament starts at 10 under par. The player with the second most points starts at −8, the third at −7, the fourth at -6, and the fifth at −5. Players ranked 6 through 10 begin at −4; 11 through 15 at −3; and so on, down to numbers 26 to 30 who will start at even par.

For purposes of the Official World Golf Ranking only aggregate scores are taken into account, disregarding any starting scores in relation to par.

Calamity Jane trophy
The Calamity Jane is a sterling silver replica of Bobby Jones's original "Calamity Jane" putter, that has been presented to the winner of the Tour Championship since 2005. In 2017, it was made the official trophy for the tournament. Each winner before 2005 has been awarded one retroactively.

Winner's exemption reward
From 1998 to 2018, the Tour Championship winner, if not already exempt by other means, received a 3-year PGA Tour exemption. Since 2019, the Tour Championship winner has been directly awarded the FedEx Cup and a 5-year PGA Tour exemption.

Han Suyin

Rosalie Matilda Kuanghu Chou (12 September 1917 or 1916 – 2 November 2012) was a Chinese-born Eurasian physician and author better known by her pen name Han Suyin. She wrote in English and French on modern China, set her novels in East and Southeast Asia, and published autobiographical memoirs which covered the span of modern China. These writings gained her a reputation as an ardent and articulate supporter of the Chinese Communist Revolution. She lived in Lausanne, Switzerland, for many years until her death.

Biography
Han Suyin was born in Xinyang, Henan, China. Her father was a Belgian-educated Chinese engineer, Chou Wei (pinyin: Zhōu Wěi), of Hakka heritage, while her mother, Marguerite Denis, was Belgian (Flemish).

She began work as a typist at Peking Union Medical College in 1931, not yet 15 years old. In 1933 she was admitted to Yenching University where she felt she was discriminated against as a Eurasian. In 1935 she went to Brussels to study medicine. In 1938 she returned to China, and married Tang Pao-Huang, a Chinese Nationalist military officer, who was to become a general. She worked as a midwife in an American Christian mission hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan. Her first novel, Destination Chungking (1942), was based on her experiences during this period. In 1940, she and her husband adopted their daughter, Tang Yungmei.

In 1944, she went with her daughter to London, where her husband Pao had been posted two years earlier as military attaché, to continue her studies in medicine at the Royal Free Hospital. Pao was subsequently posted to Washington and later to the Manchurian front. In 1947, while she was still in London, her husband died in action during the Chinese Civil War.

She graduated with MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) with Honours in 1948 and in 1949 went to Hong Kong to practice medicine at the Queen Mary Hospital. There she met and fell in love with Ian Morrison, a married Australian war correspondent based in Singapore, who was killed in Korea in 1950. She portrayed their relationship in the bestselling novel A Many-Splendoured Thing (Jonathan Cape, 1952) and the factual basis of their relationship is documented in her autobiography My House Has Two Doors (1980).

In 1952, she married Leon Comber, a British officer in the Malayan Special Branch, and went with him to Johore, Malaya (present-day Malaysia), where she worked in the Johor Bahru General Hospital and opened a clinic in Johor Bahru and Upper Pickering Street, Singapore. In 1953, she adopted another daughter, Chew Hui-Im (Hueiying), in Singapore.

In 1955, Han contributed efforts to the establishment of Nanyang University in Singapore. Specifically, she served as a physician at the institution, having refused an offer to teach literature. Chinese writer Lin Yutang, the first president of the university, had recruited her for the latter field, but she declined, indicating her desire "to make a new Asian literature, not teach Dickens".

Also in 1955, her best-known novel, A Many-Splendoured Thing, was filmed as Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing. The musical theme song, "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing", won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. In her autobiography, My House Has Two Doors, she distanced herself from the film, saying that although it was shown for many weeks at the Cathay Cinema in Singapore to packed audiences, she never went to see it and that the film rights had been sold to pay for an operation on her adopted daughter who had pulmonary tuberculosis. Much later, the movie itself was made into a daytime soap opera, Love Is a Many Splendored Thing, which ran from 1967 to 1973 on American TV.

In 1956, she published the novel And the Rain My Drink, whose description of the guerrilla war of Chinese rubber workers against the government was perceived to be very anti-British, and Comber is said to have resigned as acting Assistant Commissioner of Police Special Branch mainly because of this. In a 2008 interview, he said: "The novel portrayed the British security forces in a rather slanted fashion, I thought. She was a rather pro-Left intellectual and a doctor. I understood the reasons why the communists might have felt the way they did, but I didn't agree with them taking up arms." After resigning, he moved into book publishing as the local representative for London publisher Heinemann. Han Suyin and Comber divorced in 1958.

In 1960, Han married Vincent Ratnaswamy, an Indian colonel, and lived for a time in Bangalore, India. They later resided in Hong Kong and Switzerland, where she remained, living in Lausanne. Although later separated, they remained married until Ratnaswamy's death in January 2003.

After 1956, Han visited China almost annually. She was one of the first foreign nationals to visit post-1949 revolution China, including through the years of the Cultural Revolution. In 1974, she was the featured speaker at the founding national convention of the US-China Peoples Friendship Association in Los Angeles.

Han died in Lausanne on 2 November 2012, aged 95.

A very human account of Han Suyin, the physician, author, and woman, is provided in G. M. Glaskin's A Many-Splendoured Woman: A Memoir of Han Suyin, published in 1995.

Influences
Han Suyin funded the Chinese Writers Association to create the "National Rainbow Award for Best Literary Translation" (which is now the Lu Xun Literary Award for Best Literary Translation) to help develop literature translation in China. The "Han Suyin Award for Young Translators", sponsored by the China International Publishing Group, was also set up by her, and as of 2009 it had conferred awards 21 times.

Han has also been influential in Asian American literature, as her books were published in English and contained depictions of Asians that were radically different from the portrayals found in both Anglo-American and Asian-American authors. Frank Chin, in his essay "Come All Ye Asian American Writers of the Real and the Fake", credits Han with being one of the few Chinese American writers (his term) who does not portray Chinese men as "emasculated and sexually repellent" and for being one of the few who "[wrote] knowledgeably and authentically of Chinese fairy tales, heroic tradition, and history".

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-02-21/Fundraising drive

The Wikimedia Foundation kicked off its first-quarter fundraiser last Friday, with a goal of raising $75,000 (all figures US dollars) over the next three weeks. While this marked an increase from the $50,000 target in the previous fundraising drive, the first wave of donations had the Foundation well on its way toward its goals.

Preparations for the fundraiser were discussed last Tuesday during an open Board meeting, after which the final details were arranged. As usual, the drive relies on sitewide notices to appeal for donations, with links to a fundraising letter drafted by Wikimedia CFO Daniel Mayer (with a little help from other Wikipedians). Mayer was also providing regular reports to the mailing list with each day's results.

At press time, the progress bar on the fundraising page showed that the amount needed to reach the goal had already dropped below $50,000. In just over three days, donors had come up with more than 35% of the desired amount. The initial pace of donations was nearly $10,000 per day, and seemed to be holding fairly steady at this rate at least over the first few days. By comparison, only a single day of donations even approached that level during the fourth-quarter fund drive in 2004.

The three-week period is also longer than the previous fundraiser, which only lasted for two weeks. However, a note added to the fundraising letter indicated that if the $75,000 target was reached early, which seems possible, the sitewide messages could be removed so as to reduce the intrusion. (They will be up for one week at minimum, but even at the current pace it would take somewhat over a week for the fundraiser to reach its goal.)

In response to complaints about reliance on PayPal, Mayer indicated that plans to handle credit card donations directly were underway, and would hopefully be in place by the next fundraiser. He said PayPal would remain available as an alternate source of payment.

Harold Oldroyd

Harold Oldroyd (24 December 1913 – 3 September 1978) was a British entomologist. He specialised in the biology of flies, and wrote many books, especially popular science that helped entomology to reach a broader public. His The Natural History of Flies is considered to be the "fly Bible". Although his speciality was the Diptera, he acknowledged that they are not a popular topic: "Breeding in dung, carrion, sewage and even living flesh, flies are a subject of disgust...not to be discussed in polite society". It was Oldroyd who proposed the idea of hyphenating the names of true flies (Diptera) to distinguish them from other insects with "fly" in their names. Thus, the "house-fly", "crane-fly" and "blow-fly" would be true flies, while the "dragonfly", "scorpion fly" and so on belong to other orders. He also debunked the calculation that a single pair of house-flies, if allowed to reproduce without inhibitions could, within nine months, number 5.6×1012 individuals, enough to cover the Earth to a thickness of 14.3 m (47 ft). Oldroyd calculated that such a layer would only cover Germany, but remarked "that is still a lot of flies".
