Mark Robins

Mark Gordon Robins (born 22 December 1969) is an English football manager and former player, who is the current manager of Coventry City in the EFL Championship. As a player, he was a striker and is best known for his time in the Premier League with Norwich City and Leicester City.

Robins began his career with Manchester United. During this period, he scored a goal against Nottingham Forest in a 1989–90 FA Cup tie that has subsequently been credited with "saving" manager Alex Ferguson's job at Old Trafford. After spending time with Norwich and Leicester, Robins went on to play for Reading, Manchester City, Walsall, Rotherham United, Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday in the Football League. Robins also played across Europe during spells with Copenhagen, Ourense, and Panionios before finishing his career with Burton Albion in the Conference National.

In 2007, he became manager of Rotherham United, and joined Barnsley in the same capacity in 2009, before leaving in 2011, following differences between him and the board. In 2012, he became manager of Coventry City until 2013 when he joined Huddersfield Town. Robins left Huddersfield Town in 2014 by mutual agreement. A few months later he became manager of Scunthorpe United before leaving in 2016.

In March 2017, Robins rejoined Coventry City and a few months later won the EFL Trophy. In the 2017–18 season, Robins won the EFL League Two play-offs with the Sky Blues and were promoted to League One. After a solid eighth placed finish in League One in the 2018–19 season, Robins led Coventry to promotion to the EFL Championship as League One Champions in the 2019–20 season. He followed that up by guiding Coventry to a respectable 16th placed finish in the Championship in the 2020–21 season, and further improved upon this with a 12th placed finish in the 2021–22 season. In the 2022–23 season, Robins led Coventry to a fifth place finish in the Championship, qualifying for promotion play-offs. Coventry City met Luton Town at Wembley Stadium in the final, where they ultimately lost on penalties. 2023-24 season saw Robins lead Coventry to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time since 1987, where they met his former club Manchester United.

Manchester United
Robins played an important part in winning the FA Cup for Manchester United in 1990, which was the first trophy of manager Alex Ferguson's reign at the club, scoring the winning goal in the semi-final replay against Oldham Athletic. United were playing away from home against Nottingham Forest on 7 January 1990, in the FA Cup third round tie. It was widely speculated in the media (but perennially denied by then-chairman Martin Edwards) that under-pressure United manager Alex Ferguson would have been sacked had United lost and gone out of the Cup, as they were 15th in the league by this stage and had already been eliminated from the League Cup. Instead, Robins scored the winning goal from a Mark Hughes cross. That goal was a turning point in the history of the football club – Ferguson would keep his job and go on to achieve an unmatched run of success at the club over the next 23 years.

In that season, Robins scored seven First Division goals and a further two in the FA Cup, bringing his tally that season to nine in all competitions. His goal in the FA Cup third round also had the distinction of making him the player to score the first goal of the 1990s for Manchester United. He also scored one of United's two goals in the semi-final replay where they beat Oldham Athletic.

He was second only to Mark Hughes in the goalscoring charts at Old Trafford, while Hughes's regular strike-partner Brian McClair had managed a mere five goals and it was starting to look as though Robins would displace McClair as the club's regular second striker. However, McClair recovered his goalscoring form in 1990–91, and Robins managed only 19 First Division appearances and four goals. He was, however, in the squad that won the European Cup Winners' Cup that season. September was a good month for him, as he scored twice in a 3–1 home win over Queens Park Rangers in the league and the winning goal in a visit to Luton Town.

However, the 1991–92 season was a frustrating one for Robins as he played just twice in the league, failing to score, and in total made just eight appearances in all competitions. His only goals that season came in the League Cup second round at home to Portsmouth, when he scored twice in a 3–1 win at Old Trafford. When the opportunity for a place back in the first team arose in April as United were being overhauled by Leeds United in the title race, Robins was injured and unavailable for selection.

Two wry forms of consolation for Robins in a frustrating season came during the first half of the campaign. On 30 October 1991, he scored twice in their 3–1 win over Portsmouth in the League Cup third round, putting them on course for a strong run in the competition which culminated in them winning it for the first time. On 19 November 1991, he collected a European Super Cup winner's medal (as an unused substitute) as United beat Red Star Belgrade in the game at Old Trafford.

At the end of the season, he asked to be transfer listed.

Norwich City
He left Manchester United for Norwich City for a fee of £800,000 where he played an important role in some of the club's greatest successes, including the remarkable win in the Olympiastadion against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup.

In his first game, his two goals helped Norwich defeat Arsenal 4–2 at Highbury on the opening day of the first ever Premier League season. The Canaries were 2–0 down with a quarter of the game remaining before Robins scored the club's first Premier League goal in the 69th minute, followed swiftly by goals from wingers David Phillips and Ruel Fox, before Robins completed a 4–2 triumph with an 84th-minute goal. On 9 November 1992, he became the first English player to score a hat-trick and the first player to achieve that in an away game in the Premier League in a 3-2 win against Oldham Athletic.

He helped them qualify for the UEFA Cup at the end of the 1992–93 season, in which Norwich finished third in the Premier League, having led the league at several stages and featured in the title race until well into April, before his old club Manchester United finally won the title. His 1993–94 season was interrupted by a serious injury, and coincided with a slump in form for Norwich, who finished 12th, after spending most of the first half of the season in the top five.

Leicester City
In 1994–95, after falling out with Norwich manager John Deehan, he was sold to Leicester City, but was unable to prevent them from being relegated to Division One. He did, however, help them win promotion back to the Premier League via the play-offs in 1995–96, and win the League Cup in 1996–97, when they finished ninth in the Premier League. While at Leicester, Robins was loaned out to Copenhagen and Reading.

Leicester loaned Robins to Copenhagen in 1996. He played six games for the Danish club, scoring four goals. Among the FC Copenhagen supporters, Robins and his then attacking partner Michael Manniche got the nicknames "Batmanne and Robins".

Ourense and Panionios
After leaving Leicester in January 1998, Robins had further spells abroad playing for Spanish side Ourense and Greek side Panionios. While at Panionios, he had a brief loan spell back in England for Manchester City; however, this was disrupted by injury.

Later career
Robins returned to England when he signed for Walsall in the summer of 1999, and went on to score eight goals in 46 appearances in his one season at the club. After one season at Walsall, Robins signed for Rotherham United in the summer of 2000. Ironically, he made his debut for the club against Walsall, and scored two goals as his former side won 3–2. He went on to score 26 goals in all competitions in his first season at Rotherham, including a hat-trick in a 4–3 win over Swindon Town. In February 2003, Robins was loaned to Bristol City. He scored on his debut for the club in a Football League Trophy tie against Cambridge United. In his brief spell at Bristol City, he scored five goals in eight appearances and helped his side reach the 2003 Football League Trophy Final. However, by the time of the final, he was recalled by Rotherham and unable to take part. Bristol City went on to win the final in his absence.

After falling out of favour at Rotherham, Robins joined Sheffield Wednesday in December 2003. As he had done at Bristol City, Robins made an impressive debut for his new club in the Football League Trophy, scoring twice as Wednesday defeated Carlisle United.

Robins ended his playing career at Conference side Burton Albion, whom he joined after leaving Sheffield Wednesday in 2004. He stayed at Burton until leaving to take up an assistant manager role at Rotherham United in January 2005.

International career
Robins made his debut for the England under-21s at the Toulon Tournament in May 1990. He started the opening group game against Portugal as England lost 1−0. In the next game, he scored five goals against France in the 7−3 win, then followed that up with a goal against Russia as England qualified for the final. Robins played the whole game in the final as England beat Czechoslovakia to lift the trophy. On 11 September, he scored in the friendly against Hungary as England ran out 3−1 winners at The Dell. His last appearance was in the defeat against Poland during qualifying for the 1992 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. Overall, Robins made six appearances for the U21s and scored seven goals.

Rotherham United
Robins joined Rotherham United in June 2000 as a player and subsequently as assistant manager, under manager Alan Knill. However, by the end of February 2007, the Millers sat 13 points adrift of safety, making the threat of relegation almost inevitable. This resulted in Knill being sacked on 1 March, with Robins becoming caretaker manager. After a spell of three wins in six games while in charge as caretaker manager, and moving the club off the bottom of League One, Robins's position was made permanent on 6 April 2007.

Robins gained much praise for his first two seasons with the Millers. The first saw Rotherham consistently in the automatic promotion places until a late dip in form, and the second almost brought promotion despite a 17-point deduction imposed by the Football League. Robins also attracted several high calibre players to the Don Valley Stadium, including League 2 player of the season Nicky Law and prolific goalscorer Adam Le Fondre.

Barnsley
Robins was appointed as the new manager of Barnsley on 9 September 2009, succeeding Simon Davey. After his first game in charge, the Championship club sat at the bottom of the table looking likely candidates for relegation. By Christmas, Robins had taken them a full nine points clear of the relegation zone and on a run of eight games unbeaten. This was followed by a poor spell towards the end of the season, and Barnsley finished 18th in the table. Robins resigned from his job at the end of the 2010–11 season, because of differences with the board.

Coventry City
On 19 September 2012, Robins was appointed as the new manager of Coventry City, signing a three-year deal. His first game was a 2–1 home defeat against Carlisle United at the Ricoh Arena.

Robins became a fan-favourite catapulting them up the league from relegation battlers to play-off contenders in the short time that he had been at the club.

Robins took the club to the Area Final of the Football League Trophy which left the club two games away from Wembley. Coventry City also had to face two Premier League clubs away from home during his time. The first, being Arsenal in the League Cup third round, which resulted in a 6–1 defeat and the second being Arsenal's North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur which ended as a 3–0 loss, knocking the Sky Blues out the FA Cup third round.

Robins was first linked with the vacant Doncaster Rovers position and various other clubs. On 12 February 2013, Coventry City released a statement saying they had allowed Robins to go into talks with Huddersfield Town about their vacant managerial position.

Huddersfield Town
On 14 February 2013, Robins was unveiled as the new manager of Huddersfield Town on a rolling contract. His first game in charge came three days later, a 4–1 defeat to Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup fifth-round at John Smith's Stadium. On 19 February 2013, Robins took charge of his first league match as Huddersfield manager, a 6–1 defeat away from home against Nottingham Forest. Robins earned his first win as Huddersfield manager on 26 February 2013, a 1–0 victory against Burnley at Turf Moor. Huddersfield avoided relegation to League One on the final day of the 2012–13 season after drawing 2–2 with Barnsley.

After surviving the following season, Robins and Huddersfield mutually agreed to part company after the first game of the 2014–15 season, a 4–0 home defeat to Bournemouth.

Scunthorpe United
On 13 October 2014, Robins was appointed manager of League One club Scunthorpe United. After a run of two wins in eight games, Robins was sacked by Scunthorpe on 18 January 2016, leaving the club six points above the League One relegation zone.

Return to Coventry City
On 6 March 2017, Coventry City re-appointed Robins as manager with immediate effect, the day after the sacking of previous manager Russell Slade.

On 2 April 2017, Robins led Coventry to a 2–1 victory over Oxford United in the EFL Trophy final at Wembley. Robins won his first promotion as a manager after leading Coventry to a sixth-place finish in League Two, and winning the play-offs at Wembley. Over the course of the 2017–18 season, Robins broke numerous records as Coventry City manager, including the club's first top six finish in 48 years, their first promotion in 51 years and their most points in a season. Robins's achievements gained much plaudits from local press and fans alike, when considering Coventry City had only moved down the Football League since relegation from the Premier League in 2001. The win in the League Two play-off final represented Coventry's third competitive win at Wembley and Robins' second trophy in just over a year.

After an eighth-place finish in the 2018–19 season, Robins signed a new contract with the club in October 2019. In the 2019–20 season, Robins took Coventry City to the Championship after winning the league, with just three defeats all season and unbeaten since 14 December 2019. On 8 May 2021, Robins guided Coventry City to beat Millwall 6–1 to secure a 16th-place finish, in the club's first season back in the Championship in nine years. The following season, Robins guided the Sky Blues to a 12th-place finish in the Championship, their highest league placing in over ten years.

Robins signed a new deal with the club in May 2022. Robins said he was "delighted" to have signed a new deal. The 2022–23 season under Robins' stewardship saw further improvement, having guided Coventry to a fifth-placed finish, which secured them a place in the Championship play-offs. Coventry were ultimately unsuccessful in their bid for promotion to the Premier League, narrowly losing the penalty shootout in the final at Wembley against Luton Town, after playing out a 1–1 draw following extra time. On 17 May 2023, Robins agreed to a four-year contract to remain at Coventry until 2027. In the 2023–24 season, Coventry reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup for the first time since 1987, losing to Manchester United on penalties. Coventry had initially fought back from 3–0 down to level the match in stoppage time before losing on penalty kicks.

Amazingly negative article
This is an amazingly negative article and I believe that it deserves to be labeled as POV. For a comparison, see the Czech wikipedia text about this leader: |en&tbb=1&ie=UTF-8

He was one of the most popular - and arguably achieved - Bohemian kings ever, credited for religious tolerance, abolishing of serfdom, effective end of censorship, dramatic improvement of the rights of Jews and peasants, the creation of a working system of hospitals, functioning secret police, office hours for new government's offices, reforms of education, limitation of the Catholic Church's control over the society.

Joseph II is the main reason why the first name "Josef" became so popular in the Czech lands. I think that someone familiar with these matters should improve the article and remove the negative bias. It looks like it was written by a Catholic bigot who loves serfdom, absence of hospitals, and educated leaders who speak many languages (Joseph spoke Czech). Please fix it. --Lumidek (talk) 15:58, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Infobox

 * Fixed. No idea why it took so long.--KrossTransmit? 04:06, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

A few corrections
1. The article stated that "Austria was friendly to Russia though trying to remove Romania from Russian influence." At that time, there wasn't a Romanian country. Transylvania and Bukovina were part of the Habsburg Empire, Bessarabia of the Russian one and Dobrudja of the Ottoman state. Wallachia and Moldavia were vassal states of the Ottomans. The Russians were trying to gather more influence in the former two, which were known then as the Danubian Principalities. I have changed it to reflect this. 2. Also, I have changed the "Emancipation of the Hungarian peasantry". It wasn't a Hungarian peasatry, since the Kingdom of Hungary (part of the Habsburg Empire) had territories inhabited, besides the Hungarians, by Romanians, Serbs, Croats, Saxons, etc. It would be more correct to say "Emancipation of the peasants from the Kingdom of Hungary" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flavius T (talk • contribs) 01:25, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Epitaph
Hello, "He is buried in tomb number 42 in the Imperial Crypt in Vienna. He asked that his epitaph read: "Here lies Joseph II, who failed in all he undertook."" - I can't find anywhere, how goes the epitaph in the original language?

Lee Martin (footballer, born February 1968)

Lee Andrew Martin (born 5 February 1968) is an English former football left back. He played with Manchester United, Celtic and Bristol Rovers, among others. He represented his country at under 21 level.

Playing career
Martin started his career in the Manchester United youth system. In 1990, he scored the only goal in the FA Cup final replay against Crystal Palace. This was one of just two goals Martin scored in his entire United career. The other goal, his first, came 16 months earlier in the 3–1 defeat of West Ham at Upton Park.

His debut came on 9 May 1988 as a substitute in a 2–1 home league win over Wimbledon and he made his breakthrough at left back the following season following the departure of Arthur Albiston. By the time of his first United goal, in a 3–1 win at West Ham United in the league of 21 January 1989, he was a regular feature in the United squad.

He played in 32 out of 38 league games in the cup winning 1989–90 campaign, but managed just 14 league games the following season as Clayton Blackmore established himself as United's regular left-back, with Denis Irwin joining as a right-back, and Martin struggled against a back injury.

He did not make the squad for the side that won the European Cup Winners Cup a year later, although he did play in multiple games en route to the final. The arrival of Paul Parker that summer increased the competition for full-back places.

He managed just one league appearance in 1991–92 and did not make the squad for the Football League Cup winning team. However, he did collect a European Super Cup winner's medal on 19 November 1991 when he featured in their 1–0 triumph over Red Star Belgrade at Old Trafford, though he was substituted in the 71st minute in favour of Ryan Giggs.

He failed to make a single league appearance in 1992–93 season, when they won the first FA Premier League title. His final league appearance came on 23 October 1993 in a 1–0 Premier League win over Everton at Goodison Park, as United were on course for retaining the league title. They also went on to win the FA Cup that season. 1993–94 saw the introduction of squad numbers in the Premier League, and Martin made one appearance in the number 21 shirt. His final competitive appearance for the club was on 27 October 1993 in a 5–1 home win over Leicester City in the third round of the League Cup.

Towards the end of his time at Manchester United, Martin regularly captained the reserve side.

Martin played a total of 108 games and scored two goals for United before he left Old Trafford in January 1994 to join Celtic, where he suffered a broken leg within months of his arrival. He played just 19 times in the league in more than two years as Celtic failed to overhaul Rangers, who were league champions of Scotland in each of three seasons that Martin spent north of the border. Celtic's only major honour during Martin's time there was the Scottish FA Cup in 1995, but he didn't make the squad for that game.

He finally left Celtic in 1996 and signed for Bristol Rovers, from where he later had a loan spell with Huddersfield Town. He retired from professional football in 1998.

He then moved to the semi-professional League of Wales team Bangor City, Glossop North End and then to NEWI Cefn Druids in 2006.

Martin retired from football in 2008, and currently works with young people helping them to gain qualifications, access college and get apprenticeships or employment in the West Cheshire area.

He also helps with the coaching of the Chester FC under 16's youth team. He also works for Manchester United Television at Old Trafford.

Honours

 * FA Cup: 1989–90
 * European Cup Winners' Cup: 1990–91

American School in Japan

The American School in Japan (ASIJ; アメリカンスクール・イン・ジャパン) is an international private day school located in the city of Chōfu, Tokyo, Japan. The school consists of an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school, all located on the Chōfu campus. There is also an early learning center (nursery-kindergarten) for children aged 3–5 located in the Roppongi Hills complex in downtown Tokyo. Instruction is in English and follows an American-style curriculum. About two thirds of the school's students are the children of citizens of a wide variety of countries who are on temporary assignment in Japan, and the remaining one third are Japanese students who speak English. The campus is fenced in, resulting from heightened security measures taken after the September 11 attacks, with campus surroundings including the Nogawa Park and the neighborhood of Tama. The Good Schools Guide International called ASIJ "an impressive school, not only for its size and facilities but also for its strong sense of where it is going."

History
Officially founded in 1902, The American School in Japan was started by a group of women who recognized the need for a school among the growing foreign community. Beginning life in rented rooms in the Kanda YMCA, the Tokyo School for Foreign Children, as it was then known, quickly attracted a growing numbers of students from around the world and soon needed to move to a more permanent home in Tsukiji. In 1921, the school moved to a new 3 story building in Shibaura. The building was deemed unsafe after the Great Kanto earthquake, and classes resumed on the Friends Mission compound in Shiba, in the former home of the Bowles family.

In the early 1920s Frank Lloyd Wright, who was in Tokyo building the Imperial Hotel, drew designs for a proposed new campus, as did Antonin Raymond. Although neither of the designs were constructed, Raymond assisted in the move and repurposing of some buildings when the school moved to Nakameguro in 1927. In 1933, local expatriate architect William Merrell Vories was asked to design and build a new main concrete building for the campus, which was completed in 1934. After closing during the war years, the school reopened in 1946. The current campus in Chofu was opened in 1963.

A series of major improvements to the main campus began in the late 1990s, with seismic updates, a new elementary school gym, and an expansion to the high school which included a redesigned entrance. A new cafeteria building with classrooms and administrative offices on the second and third floors opened in 2003. In 2004, the school's Early Learning Center opened in Roppongi Hills, moving from Nakameguro. A new theater complex opened in 2005. Between 2006 and 2009, athletic fields and playgrounds were upgraded and solar panels were installed. Between 2010 and 2013, a series of changes designed by Paul Tange addressed campus traffic flow, added new athletic facilities (including raised tennis courts with covered bus drop-off below, and replaced the Multipurpose Room, along with the Elementary music and art classrooms with the CADC (Creative Art Design Center) which not only houses the music and art classrooms, but also houses multiple rooms for the high school and middle school Design Technology classes, a Japanese Culture center, and holds multiple meeting rooms.

Jack Moyer sexual abuse
In March 2014, the school publicly announced that a teacher, Jack Moyer, had sexually abused students during his tenure from 1963~1988. He also continued to be involved in the school's 7th grade Miyake outdoor program until 2002, when the erupting island volcano ended that locale for the program. The school stated that the current administration and board had found out about this abuse in November 2013. However, victims of Moyer allege that past administrators were informed as far back as 1968. The school says that it has no record of this earlier reporting. Moyer committed suicide in 2004. Alumni called on the school to commission an independent investigation into a possible years-long cover-up by the school's administration over the abuse allegations. The school announced on 4 June 2014 that it had contracted the law firm Ropes & Gray to conduct an independent investigation into the allegations against Moyer and how ASIJ responded to the allegations.

In June 2015, the ASIJ Board of Directors released a letter admitting that an independent investigation found that Jack Moyer's abuse of students was extensive and that the abuse was covered up by faculty and administrators for years. The board apologized for the harm this has caused and promised to release the report in English and Japanese by mid-June, 2015. The full report, released by Ropes & Gray LLP on June 15, 2015, concluded "[i]n light of all of the evidence we have examined, it is apparent to us that Moyer was a serial pedophile who, in our assessment, sexually abused female ASIJ students". Lawyers for 13 of the victims also released their report on June 15, 2015.

ASIJ follows a broadly American curriculum and Advanced Placement courses are offered for high school sophomores, juniors and seniors. There is a Japanese language program, which begins in the first grade. Other languages taught are Spanish and Chinese. All the students in the Elementary School must learn Japanese for one period every other day.

The Early Learning Center's philosophy is heavily influenced by the Reggio Emilia Approach and the curriculum is project based. The elementary school uses the Columbia Writing Program and Everyday Math program in addition to curriculum units developed by faculty. In 2011, ASIJ joined Global Online Academy, a consortium of leading independent schools that offers courses taught by consortium member teachers to member school students. GOA courses are designed to give students an opportunity to offer their local perspective to global issues.

Environmental sustainability
SAFE, Student Action for the Environment, has been recycling paper for over a decade, approximately 20 tons last year. The school started keeping baseline data on energy usage and garbage volumes in 2007 when they began composting cafeteria waste and campus leaves using earthworms. The compost is used to fertilize the gardens and greenery around campus. Used cooking oil is donated to Revo International to produce biodiesel fuel.

Reflective paint on building roofs, reflective film on windows, the installation of more double pane windows and LED lighting were largely accomplished in 2008. In 2009, with the help of government funding and private and corporate donors, the school installed solar panels on top of the gym and pool buildings which have a maximum capacity of 80 kWh. ASIJ also promotes energy conservation each year by not turning on the heat or air-conditioning during October and April, aka NO HEAT-NO COOL months, and has reduced PET bottle consumption by promoting the use of water bottles such as SIGG and replaced regular PET bottles in vending machines with Coca-Cola's I Lohas bottles. Since the 2007–2008 school year, ASIJ has reduced annual energy consumption on campus by 25.1% with a goal of 30% by the end of 2013.

A 2010–2011 carbon footprint audit by ECO3 Design has given the school new goals to replace heavy-oil boilers and install a ground source heat exchange system.

Response spectrum

A response spectrum is a plot of the peak or steady-state response (displacement, velocity or acceleration) of a series of oscillators of varying natural frequency, that are forced into motion by the same base vibration or shock. The resulting plot can then be used to pick off the response of any linear system, given its natural frequency of oscillation. One such use is in assessing the peak response of buildings to earthquakes. The science of strong ground motion may use some values from the ground response spectrum (calculated from recordings of surface ground motion from seismographs) for correlation with seismic damage.

If the input used in calculating a response spectrum is steady-state periodic, then the steady-state result is recorded. Damping must be present, or else the response will be infinite. For transient input (such as seismic ground motion), the peak response is reported. Some level of damping is generally assumed, but a value will be obtained even with no damping.

Response spectra can also be used in assessing the response of linear systems with multiple modes of oscillation (multi-degree of freedom systems), although they are only accurate for low levels of damping. Modal analysis is performed to identify the modes, and the response in that mode can be picked from the response spectrum. These peak responses are then combined to estimate a total response. A typical combination method is the square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS) if the modal frequencies are not close. The result is typically different from that which would be calculated directly from an input, since phase information is lost in the process of generating the response spectrum.

The main limitation of response spectra is that they are only universally applicable for linear systems. Response spectra can be generated for non-linear systems, but are only applicable to systems with the same non-linearity, although attempts have been made to develop non-linear seismic design spectra with wider structural application. The results of this cannot be directly combined for multi-mode response.

Seismic response spectra
Response spectra are very useful tools of earthquake engineering for analyzing the performance of structures and equipment in earthquakes, since many behave principally as simple oscillators (also known as single degree of freedom systems). Thus, if you can find out the natural frequency of the structure, then the peak response of the building can be estimated by reading the value from the ground response spectrum for the appropriate frequency. In most building codes in seismic regions, this value forms the basis for calculating the forces that a structure must be designed to resist (seismic analysis).

As mentioned earlier, the ground response spectrum is the response plot done at the free surface of the earth. Significant seismic damage may occur if the building response is 'in tune' with components of the ground motion (resonance), which may be identified from the response spectrum. This was observed in the 1985 Mexico City Earthquake where the oscillation of the deep-soil lake bed was similar to the natural frequency of mid-rise concrete buildings, causing significant damage. Shorter (stiffer) and taller (more flexible) buildings suffered less damage.

In 1941 at Caltech, George W. Housner began to publish calculations of response spectra from accelerographs. In the 1982 EERI Monograph on "Earthquake Design and Spectra", Newmark and Hall describe how they developed an "idealized" seismic response spectrum based on a range of response spectra generated for available earthquake records. This was then further developed into a design response spectrum for use in structural design, and this basic form (with some modifications) is now the basis for structural design in seismic regions throughout the world (typically plotted against structural "period", the inverse of frequency). A nominal level of damping is assumed (5% of critical damping).

For "regular" low-rise buildings, the structural response to earthquakes is characterized by the fundamental mode (a "waving" back-and-forth), and most building codes permit design forces to be calculated from the design spectrum on the basis of that frequency, but for more complex structures, combination of the results for many modes (calculated through modal analysis) is often required. In extreme cases, where structures are either too irregular, too tall or of significance to a community in disaster response, the response spectrum approach is no longer appropriate, and more complex analysis is required, such as non-linear static or dynamic analysis like in seismic performance analysis technique.

Campeonato Catarinense

The Campeonato Catarinense de Futebol, known as Campeonato Catarinense or simply Catarinense, is the main competition of association football from state of Santa Catarina, in Brazil.

History
The Campeonato Catarinense top level has had several different names since it started. From its first edition, in 1924, to 1985, it was called just Campeonato Catarinense (Santa Catarina Championship). From 1986 to 2003, it was named Campeonato Catarinense Primeira Divisão (Santa Catarina Championship Premier Division). In 2004 and in 2005, the competition name was Série A1, and since 2006, the competition is named Divisão Principal (Top Division).

Format
First stage
 * All ten teams play a round-robin playing once against each other team.
 * The top 4 teams qualify for the semi-finals which are played 1st vs 4th and 2nd vs 3rd. Where games are tied the higher placed team progresses. The final is played at the ground of the higher placed team and, as in the semi-final, in a tied game the higher placed team wins.

Second stage
 * All ten teams play a round-robin playing once against each other team.
 * The top 4 teams qualify for the semi-finals which are played 1st vs 4th and 2nd vs 3rd. Where games are tied the higher placed team progresses. The final is played at the ground of the higher placed team and, as in the semi-final, in a tied game the higher placed team wins.

Finals:
 * Home-and-away playoffs between the winners of the first and second stages.

The winner of the Finals is crowned champion.

Erland Van Lidth De Jeude

Erland Philip Peter van Lidth de Jeude (June 3, 1953 – September 23, 1987) was a Dutch-American actor, opera singer, and amateur wrestler.

Early life and education
van Lidth de Jeude was born in Hilversum, the Netherlands, and came to the United States with his family in 1958, where they resided in Orange, New Jersey (until 1960), then Stamford, Connecticut (1960–1962), Ridgefield, Connecticut (1962–1970) where he attended Ridgefield High School, and moved to Mont Vernon, New Hampshire, in 1970 where he attended Milford Area Senior High School, from which he was graduated in 1972. He appeared in theatrical productions, and played center and nose guard on the varsity football team. He attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he studied computer science and was graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science & Electrical Engineering in 1977. He also distinguished himself on the wrestling team, where he was the 1976 NCAA Division III runner-up in the heavyweight division, and in stage productions, the most successful of which was A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, in which he played Miles Gloriosus.

Career
After graduation he worked in Manhattan as a computer professional, while also attending the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal as an alternate in the heavyweight wrestling team. His preparation for the 1980 Olympics in Moscow was cut short when the United States boycotted the event. He also won the Bronze Medal in the international competition held in Tehran in 1978.

The 6'6" (198 cm), 340-pound (154 kg) wrestler was spotted in the New York Athletic Club by a casting director, which led to his role as the fearsome "Terror", leader of the Fordham Baldies, in the 1979 Philip Kaufman film The Wanderers. He continued to juggle his careers in film and information technology while also singing frequently with the Amato Opera in New York, studying to become a Heldenbaritone, and teaching computer programming at Manhattan Community College. He is perhaps best known for his role as Grossberger in Stir Crazy with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, which was released in December 1980. His co-stars in the 1982 slasher film, Alone in the Dark, included Jack Palance, Martin Landau, Donald Pleasence and Dwight Schultz.  Erland was also featured in the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film The Running Man, which was his last film appearance. He played Dynamo, a sadistic stalker who announces his presence by singing the Valkyries' War Cry from Wagner's Die Walküre and electrocutes his victims. He once turned down a role in the John Derek Tarzan film because he did not want to shave his head as he had for The Wanderers and Stir Crazy.

Personal life
Van Lidth De Jeude married Annette Friend on September 22, 1986, with whom he had one son, Christiaan. His brother Philip van Lidth de Jeude, who was featured in the Dutch children's film Abeltje (released November 1998) as the Generalissimo, originally sang as a baritone and then as a dramatic tenor in both Europe and the United States, and sister Philine van Lidth de Jeude is a dramatic soprano and free-lance photographer.

He was born into the Dutch noble family van Lidth de Jeude and held the predicate of untitled nobility Jonkheer (comparable to the archaic usage of the British Esquire and cognate to the German Junker).

Death
van Lidth de Jeude died of heart failure on September 23, 1987, at age 34, a few months after finishing work on The Running Man and one day after his first wedding anniversary.

Talk:Rochdale College

Untitled
I'm doing research on Rochdale College for a school project. Can someone validate the claim that Rochdale college is associated with Innis college? Innis college was established in 1964 (according to Wikipedia), and plans for what would later become Rochdale Collge was being undergone by Campus Co-op at around the same tim. I'm not aware of a connection with Innis college, or with University of Toronto at all, for that matter.--Xuzicheng 21:30, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

It seems to me that the anonymous editor who has been making changes recently is white-washing this article to make Rochdale come across as not being such a bad place. Does anyone have any evidence to support the points that s/he is removing? Ground Zero 15:26, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * You're right. Someone or some people want to make it seem like Rochdale was a pot-smoking peace-loving flower child kind of place and they're trying to remove references to the fact that the drug trade was controlled by bikers, included hard drugs, and resulted in deaths. That's why I included some external links so that if someone wanted to research things a bit more they would discover why the place actually had to be shut down. There is evidence in the external links. The evidence for the college's allegiance with the Vagabonds biker gang is in the first link. Do you think its worth citing the sources in the article? Paradiso 16:21, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * evidence of drug casualties is referenced in the second external link

 * evidence of over 50 drug-overdoses delivered to local hospitals including 3 DOA as well as the prevalence of harder drugs including speed and LSD and other stuff is discussed in the third link.

 * evidence of the college’s unofficial alliance with the Vagabonds motorcycle club and members of biker gangs in the school security is referenced here:

 * evidence of the prevalence of bikers and squatters from Yorkville are referenced here: (scroll down to Toronto Life, February 2000 article “Faulty Tower” By James FitzGerald)

It is important to understand that Rochdale was not closed down because of the soft drugs. It was closed down because of the hard drugs and organized crime. Paradiso 17:05, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The anonymous edits to "pretty up" Rochdale's image have made it necessary to out an NPOV tag on the article until this can be remedied. Ground Zero 01:14, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

December 11, 2005: Rochdale College was not "closed down because of the soft drugs" or "because of organized crime." It was closed because the Government of Ontario refused to renegotiate our mortgage. By the early 1970s, Rochdale College, Inc., had cleaned up the building and was making a profit of about $25,000 per month from rentals. When the government refused to renegotiate the co-operative's mortgage, we took our case to the Supreme Court of Ontario, and, although the judge remarked that our case was not entirely without merit, we lost the case. This is why the members of Rochdale College, Inc., were evicted. -- Gina L. Serman Reid ("Nickie Ashley"), former Registrar of Rochdale College; former Executive Member of the Governing Council of Rochdale College.

March 7, 2006: Further thoughts on prettying up Rochdale's image. As PR officer of Rochdale College in the 1970s (among the many Rochdale hats I wore, 1971-1975), I can attest that folks who use pre-1975 Canadian newspaper files to research Rochdale will find mostly bad publicity, most of it exaggerated, and plenty of it manufactured. If you believe everything you read in the papers, well, you won't need to speak with actual Rochdalians to discover our many different experiences and perspectives. -- Gina L. Serman Reid ("Nickie Ashley").

 * Instead we are to believe the former PR officer? —Memotype:: T 14:37, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Regardless, Wikipedia recognizes "pre-1975 Canadian newspaper files" as valid sources, so you will have to come up with credible sources which show otherwise, your "because I was there, and I say so" doesn't fly around here. —Memotype:: T 14:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, Nickie's drive-by comments are a year old, but they are essentially correct. Perhaps there is someone in Toronto who might care to research the court records?  The newspapers in Toronto were hostile to Rochdale, and much of what they were saying could very well have been libellous.  I was there from 1970 to 1973.  The mortgages were a problem from the very beginning thanks to Howard Adelman's conflict of interest in the way they were set up from the beginning. Eclecticology 11:15, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I cleaned up the article a little, adding in requests where citations are needed. I also removed the section on the town after which it is named because that information can be found in the town's article. Stearnsbrian 22:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Murmur
Just a note that there have been a couple postings about Rochdale College. They're quite interesting, and you can listen to them online. You might want to put it in the external links if it intrigues you: http://murmurtoronto.ca/place.php?284618

French left wing art activist, I was invited In Toronto ' Rochdale University in the early 70 'S. I remember it had a ' Yossarian Non Profit reccord store. A hole in the wall, where one hippie student without stock, was taking orders. The amount of sales was so important that record cie wouldnt refuse to sell them .. Anybody could come there and order, then come back few days later and pay half of the usual retail price ... It had thrift shop and most of the revolutionary of the planet had at least an office in the building. Black and Pink Panthers, New Liberation Service and News Real ( Underground info coop agencies) and many of the National Liberation front all over the world .It had links with The University, hence we had funding to shoot a docu about Natives, North Quebec. Of course it had drugs, but only weed and acid .. I remember the private Rchdale Police, dressed as cow boys, all black outfits, with some dogs.,

Neutrality of Point of View
A very low amount. A large part of the article seems to be copied verbatim from a negative source (which I don't have access to) which inexplicably takes up nearly half the references (9 out of 23). --Jacob's Crackers (talk) 13:35, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Template talk:Gutenberg author

Problem, Henry James example
How do we link, say, Henry James? If we try Henry_James, it will bring up a list of all authors with "Henry James" anywhere in the name. --Prosfilaes 09:33, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I wish I had a good answer for that, and it is something I recognized as a flaw. The short answer is not to use the "gutenberg author" template, and make your own external link to: http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/j#a113, the problem with this link is that someone may need to fix it later on.  Let me give you some background. . . .  Project Gutenberg assigns a code to each author (that is what "j#a113" is the above link).  Unfortunely, they do not claim that this code has any permanance.  Gutenberg specifically requests that outsiders use one of their canonical URLs, or ones that they pledge to continually support.  The canonical URL format for an author is: "John_Q._Public" rather than "q#9999".  In some cases it does not work well, and http://www.gutenberg.org/author/Henry_James is a perfect example.  On the other hand, this ambiguity is sometimes helpful, as for http://www.gutenberg.org/author/William_Shakespeare because it also shows the category for his spurious works, that otherwise a user would not see if he went to http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/s#a65. --Eoghanacht 16:48, 2005 May 4 (UTC)

 * You now can use id=Henry_James_(1843-1916) to disambiguate. You can also give (42-) or (-42) if the other date is unknown. The parens and the hyphen are required. For any question regarding the Project Gutenberg web site contact me at webmaster@gutenberg.org . We are very interested in collaborating with Wikipedia, so we'll quickly fix anything that can be fixed. --Marcello 10:36, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

 * It is advised to use the author's ID. Henry James's ID is 113. Which gives:
 * As mentioned on the template page: "id = number' will skip the author search result page and go direct to the author page. This is preferable."
 * PS: To find the ID number: Go to any book by Henry James (example), click on the last breadcrumb at top left where it says "> 86 by Henry James", it will lead to https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/113 (where 113 is the ID number)" -- － Cy21 ➜ discuss 19:25, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Would there be interest in creating a template that incorporates all three services (PG, IA, GB). Here is an example from Alfred Russel Wallace:

For example : Dick, Philip K., 1928-1982 each book and author now has a unique URL :

a unified Gutenberg template should be possible, such as :

Convert to new Lua module
The template has been re-written as Lua Module:Gutenberg. Edit request is to replace this:

 * [//www.gutenberg.org/author/ Works by ] at Project Gutenberg

With this:

The testcases page Template:Gutenberg author/testcases shows it working. The new Lua code adds an additional important feature allowing the argument id to be to either the author name, or the author number (they go to different pages at the PG website). The behavior is otherwise exactly the same, there are no new or deleted arguments. See the testcases page which shows the old and new templates side by side - they are identical (except when a number is used since that is a new feature with the Lua version). -- Green  C  00:11, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Thanks for making this! It's nice to see more Wikipedians interested in Lua. :) My first thought was that it's probably not too hard to just add the new feature in template code, as there isn't really anything in the module that needs to be done in Lua. Although I think that Lua has several advantages over template code anyway, you should be careful when converting simple templates like this one, as it makes them less accessible to editors who don't know Lua. Here are my thoughts about the module itself:
 * You need to support  for the ID and   for the name, as these parameters are already in use and not supporting them will break transclusions.
 * In the template, the ID falls back to, but not providing an ID is an error in the module. Might some transclusions be relying on this feature?
 * You should use the same Lua pattern as is done at Template:PAGENAMEBASE, otherwise it will lead to unexpected behaviour on some pages. For example, we have some pages that have more than one pair of parentheses in the title. In fact, it might be worth converting PAGENAMEBASE to Lua as well so that you could just load it from here.
 * If you are going to output an error for the ID, you should probably make it a Big Red error. You can do that by using the  function, which puts the page in Category:Pages with script errors and gives you a stack trace when you click on the error message. Or if you just want wikitext, you can wrap the error message in.
 * To avoid checking for  both times, you can use Module:Arguments, or just define your own stripArgument function. Then you can just say  . Module:Arguments also has a "wrappers" option, so that when the module is used from Template:Gutenberg author it will use the parent frame, but when it is used from other pages,   will still work.
 * That's everything that I can think of for now - let me know if you have any questions about any of them. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 03:05, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Wow thanks for the great feedback. The reason I'd like to use Lua is because Wikidata now has fields for the Gutenberg ID number, and I hope to eventually populate Wikidata and have the template pull info from there so users don't need to worry what the ID is. That's down the road though, for now getting the Lua template in place with the new ID feature since there are some pages that need it. I'll take a look at the rest of your suggestions and ping when done. Regards. -- Green  C  03:45, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

 * 1) I searched and out of 9191 uses of the template, 22 were missing the id argument. They are now added. I'd prefer not to add support for positional parameters (or no parameters), it makes the script more complex, is no longer needed and will make future upgrades more difficult with inconsistent data.
 * Re: pagenamebase, changed  to  . It seems to work but I don't know how to test it. Do you know of an example article where multiple paren pairs are used?
 * 1) Returns error when there is no id parameter.
 * 2) Added function trimArg .. prefer that over the complexity of Module:Arguments, it can be added in the future.
 * Thanks for the reply. About your points:
 * Supporting args[1] and args[2] needn't make the module more complex - it can be as simple as this. When you checked for missing IDs, did you also check to see whether and  were in use? If you've replaced them then you can remove them from the template if you want, but it really isn't that much trouble to support them.
 * PAGENAMEBASE isn't the same as . The base page is the page without the final subpage, but PAGENAMEBASE is a template that finds the page name without the final parentheses.
 * You can just call  without returning it, as it will stop execution of the module anyway.
 * Best — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 01:55, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * (this is on my watchlist no need to ping, if it's on yours I'll stop pinging).
 * Ahh I see now, that's clever using the "or" in . Come to think of it I didn't search non-article space (talk pages etc) for legacy usage, which is about 80 pages. Those could be checked and fixed if needed, but it wouldn't hurt to leave the args[1] feature. The search was for negative existence of "id=" (or "id =") within Gutenberg author template instances.
 * Great. I didn't know how to add PAGENAMEBASE. Glad you did so.
 * Thanks for your help with the code. --  Green  C  04:55, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

https problem
One problem; the documentation says using id=number is preferable and goes to the unsecure, http, version of the page. The template actually generates a secure https URL. The latter does not seem to work. Compare:

 *

I don’t know if this a temporary issue or they do not support https. Either the module needs fixing or the documentation updating.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 16:51, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

 * - it works for me not seeing any problem. What browser are you using? What URL do you see in the second instance? What happens when you click on it? Thanks. (BTW I fixed the documentation it should have been https. Also the template is Protocol Relative, meaning it will generate http or https dynamically depending on your browser's ability). -- Green  C  17:11, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Safari. I get a generic warning page with the following on it:

Safari Can’t Open the Page Safari can’t open the page “https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/6950” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “www.gutenberg.org”.
 * Every page I try with https gives the same outcome. Nothing wrong with https on my Mac otherwise I would not be able to connect to WP or half the sites I visit.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 18:01, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * And sorry quoting has mangled the URL. It’s the same as in the template above, i.e. https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/6950-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 18:03, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Some more info: Safari’s error log has:

Failed to load resource: An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made
 * No idea what that means.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 18:05, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

 * - I'm able to replicate this problem using a different browser on a PC. It looks like the Gutenberg site has a problem. The best solution is to remove https support when going to an id=# --  Green  C  19:48, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, it doesn’t look like a browser or OS issue. My search on the error message found mostly server-side solutions. The error is possibly always there, but some browsers ignore or work around it. It’s not just those with id=# but all secure urls with https to their site in my testing.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 19:53, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Ahh shoot you're right it's also when using a id=name. I wonder why no one reported this before, possibly a temporary problem? Anyway we need to get the module to use http for the time being while this problem exists. I have a request in with an admin since I don't have perms to make the change. -- Green  C  20:01, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

https now works and the template should be fixed to point to httpS. 83.145.195.17 (talk) 15:12, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

CocoRosie

CocoRosie is an American musical group formed in 2003 by sisters Sierra Rose "Rosie" and Bianca Leilani "Coco" Casady. The group's music has been described as folktronica, freak folk and "New Weird America", and incorporates elements of pop, blues, opera, electronica, and hip hop. The group has released seven studio albums, La Maison de Mon Rêve (2004), Noah's Ark (2005), The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn (2007), Grey Oceans (2010), Tales of a GrassWidow (2013), Heartache City (2015), and Put the Shine On (2020), and two EPs, Beautiful Boyz (2004) and Coconuts, Plenty of Junk Food (2009). They released their sixth album Heartache City on their own record label, Lost Girl Records.

Originally a duo, the group was formed when Bianca, who was living in New York City at the time, made an impromptu visit to Sierra at her Paris apartment, reconnecting with her for the first time in ten years. The sisters began creating music together, singing over instrumentals produced using a combination of traditional instruments and found objects, most notably children's toys. They later expanded to a group and added various backing musicians, including a bassist, keyboardist, beatboxer, and synth player.

CocoRosie has performed and toured in North America, South America, and at many prominent European venues and festivals such as the Olympia, the Grand Rex, the Royal Concertgebouw, Pukkelpop, and Lowlands Festival. In 2009, music magazine Better Propaganda named CocoRosie the 16th most influential artist of the 2000s.

Early life
Sierra Casady was born on June 9, 1980, in Fort Dodge, Iowa, and Bianca Casady on March 27, 1982, in Hilo, Hawaii. Their parents divorced when Sierra was four and Bianca was two and the sisters, who identify as "part Native American", stayed with their late mother, Christina Chalmers (née Hunter), Iowan artist, singer, Steiner/Waldorf teacher, and "healer" of Syrian Orthodox ancestry who "compulsively moved" and "kept throwing away everything the family owned and starting all over again." Chalmers was born in Madison, West Virginia. Chalmers nicknamed Sierra "Rosie" and Bianca "Coco" from which CocoRosie takes its name. Their mother's partner was the New Age spiritual leader Brooke Medicine Eagle, whom Bianca has said "carried [her] in a papoose around sacred Anasazi grounds" as a child. The Casady sisters have said their maternal grandfather, who they have never met, was Cherokee and that their mother believed her nomadic tendencies were because "her Syrian ancestors must have had a lot of Gypsy in them." Bianca has discussed her mother's ethnic background by saying "Nowadays, who would want to be white? But back then, in farm country, anything other than button-nosed blonde didn't fly."

Their childhood has been described as "bizarre" and "nomadic". They moved almost yearly, living in Hawaii, Arizona, California and New Mexico, and frequently changed schools. Because their mother believed they would learn more "in the real world" than in school, neither sister finished high school. The sisters were somewhat estranged from their father, Timothy Casady, an organic farmer, teacher, and spiritualist who came from an Iowa farming family, and who was interested in New Age experiences inspired by Native American religions, neoshamanism, and "the Peyote Church, which involves ingesting the hallucinogenic cactus peyote." The sisters spent some childhood summers with him, where they experienced him "dragging us on vision quests ... as a little kid, sometimes it's a nightmare, you're out in the desert, you don't have any food". In 1994, at 14, Sierra was kicked out of the home by Chalmers and went to live with her father in Sedona, where she began attending private boarding school Verde Valley School and lost contact with Bianca. Bianca also attended Verde Valley School.

In a 2004 interview, Bianca described their childhood, stating "we spent our summers hiking from reservation to reservation... I remember being in peyote circles as a kid, sitting in tepees full of smoke... not being able to breathe and trying to sneak air out of the bottom of the tepee... We always felt pretty much like freaks, but we felt good about it. We didn't have any rules or anything. We had total freedom. It was hard to meet people who had the same values as us. We just sort of carry that with us today. We have pow-wows in our apartment, with bottles of cheap beer. It has to manifest itself somehow."

Musical influence
The sisters generally disliked their experiences when they were children, but came to appreciate aspects that would later influence their music. Later, in a 2015 interview with PopMatters discussing their sixth album Heartache City, Bianca stated that she felt she didn't have "certain rights" as child, and that she and Sierra "didn't really have the space to be children." She explained that in their music they "explore... expressing from a child's point of view... because a child sees what's going on around them but doesn't really judge, and tends to reflect back certain ugliness and then they also don't have shame necessarily, or certain social restrictions on the way that they talk." In a 2007 interview, discussing the track lyrics of The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn, Bianca briefly mentioned that as child she "would burn ants and hunt rabbits" with Sierra, and that on the album is "talk about family members and our experiences... It’s not about what we have been doing, more major experiences, like moments from our childhood."

In a 2007 interview, Sierra stated that the track "Rainbowarriors" from their third album The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn is "based on personal experiences and the Native American idea of the rainbow trail, but our own interpretation of that," and, in another 2007 interview, said that she and Bianca refer to themselves as "rainbowarriors". The Legend of the Rainbow Warriors is considered New Age pseudo-folklore and the Casady sisters have been criticized for "race-baiting" and "naïve and insensitive appropriation of Native American mythology" due to their use of Native American themes in their works.

The Casady sisters' mother, Christina Chalmers, died in January 2017 during the production of CocoRosie's seventh album, Put the Shine On, eleven days after providing backing vocals for the track "Ruby Red", which is about her life.

2003−2004: Formation and La Maison de Mon Rêve
Sierra has received classical opera training in Rome, Paris, and New York City. At age 17, she moved to Rome to be privately tutored by Rosana Staffi. In 2000, after having lived in New York City for two years while studying at the Manhattan School of Music and the Mannes School of Music, Sierra moved into a "tiny" apartment in the Montmartre district of Paris, France to study at the Conservatoire de Paris, pursuing a career as an opera singer. Casady cheated to gain entrance to the Conservatoire, stating "I pretended I could sight-read when I couldn't." She also studied at the Conservatoire Rachmaninoff in Paris. During this period she had no contact with Bianca, who by 2002 was living in Brooklyn and studying linguistics, sociology, and visual arts. Bianca had been "really involved in the literary community" in New York, claiming she "had a small press, was making books and hosting book clubs and curating shows" in her home. According to a 2007 Clash interview, the sisters had "hardly spoke a word to each other for ten years" at that point, with Bianca saying they "had seen each other a few times, but... abstained from speaking to each other. It was less of children being split up and more of us choosing not to connect."

In early 2003, Bianca made an impromptu visit to Paris to rejoin Sierra, and the two spent months creating music in Sierra's bathroom which, according to them, was the most isolated room in the apartment and had the best acoustics. The sisters took a lo-fi and experimental approach to production, utilizing a distinct vocal style, traditional instruments, and various improvised instruments such as toys, all recorded with one microphone and a "broken" pair of headphones. In a 2009 interview, Bianca stated that the decision to make music was also impromptu, and that after reuniting they had been "doing a lot of photography and started to just sort of document our daily adventures... recording was just sort of a natural progression of that... at no point were we, you know, aware of the goal of making a record... we intuitively really kind of stuck to that format without knowing it, like by making twelve songs and kind of thinking of it as that structure." The individual tracks created in the process were compiled into an album which would later be released as CocoRosie's debut, La Maison de Mon Rêve.

The sisters have said they only wanted a few copies of the album to be produced, planning to give the copies to friends. However, the CocoRosie act was signed to the independent record label Touch and Go Records in 2004, after the label allegedly "pursued them" and persuaded them to, and the album was released on March 9, 2004, to unexpected critical acclaim.

2005−2006: Beautiful Boyz and Noah's Ark
CocoRosie released their second album, Noah's Ark, in 2005. The album includes collaborations with Anohni from Antony and the Johnsons ("Beautiful Boyz"), Devendra Banhart ("Brazilian Sun"), and French rapper Spleen ("Bisounours"). The album was recorded in a variety of locations as the sisters traveled. The album's cover, a drawing by Bianca of three unicorns having sex while one of them vomits drops corresponding to the color spectrum, was selected by The Guardian and Pitchfork Media as one of the worst album covers of all time.

In 2005, Bianca Casady was in a relationship with Devendra Banhart, with Banhart living with Casady and her mother Christina at Christina's farm in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a Romani village in southern France. Casady's relationship with Banhart ended in 2006. Banhart's 2007 album Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon detailed his break up with Casady.

In 2006, Sierra started a side project, Metallic Falcons, with friend Matteah Baim. The project is signed to Voodoo Eros Records, a new label started by Bianca with business partner Melissa Shimkovitz. Bianca also opened the Voodoo Eros Museum Of Nice Items, an art gallery and performance space in New York City (123 Ludlow St) most recently home to an exhibition of Bianca's art Red Bone Slim VS. Itself: an Exhibition of Drawings.

2007: The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn
CocoRosie's third full-length studio album, The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn, was released on April 10, 2007. It was produced by Valgeir Sigurðsson, Björk's longtime collaborator. The songs are about the Casady sisters' family and their deceased older half-brother Simon Casady. It was recorded at their mother's farm in the Camargue region of France. The album's cover is a photo by Pierre et Gilles that features Sierra as two women, and Bianca in drag. In a 2008 interview with AfterEllen.com, Bianca expressed surprise that many people do not realize she is queer, given that she frequently performs in drag.

In May 2007, while touring in support of The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn, the band was involved in an incident which resulted in the cancellation of the remainder of the North American leg of the tour. No official explanation was released; vague and unconfirmed reports claimed that unidentified members of the band were arrested and deported while crossing the Canada–US border.

2008: "God Has a Voice, She Speaks Through Me"
On May 13, 2008, CocoRosie released a new single entitled "God Has a Voice, She Speaks Through Me". The song was released digitally and as a 7" picture disc single (limited to 3000 pieces). The B-side of the 7" features a short and untitled song, which merely consists of noises. Though the picture on the B-side of the vinyl has lyrics from the song "Hairnet Paradise", which was previously only performed live, the actual song on the recording is very different. The duo spent much of 2008 writing and recording in various locations such as New York city, Réunion, Paris and Berlin where they also teamed up with artist Neda Sanai that is the spoken word voice on the song "R.I.P Burn Face".

2009: Coconuts, Plenty of Junk Food
In 2009, CocoRosie's relationship with Touch and Go Records became unclear. A self-released EP entitled Coconuts, Plenty of Junk Food was made available for sale exclusively at CocoRosie shows on June 3, 2009.

2010−2012: Grey Oceans
CocoRosie signed with Sub Pop records in 2010. Their fourth full-length album, Grey Oceans, was released on May 11, 2010.

2013−2014: Tales of a GrassWidow
On June 5, 2012, CocoRosie released their double A-Side 7" single, "We Are On Fire", with Touch and Go Records. The cover art for the new single was a Twin Rivers collaboration between Bianca and Jesse Hazelip. Their fifth album, Tales of a GrassWidow, was released in the United States on May 27, 2013, on the City Slang record label.

2015−2016: Heartache City and Bianca Casady and the C.i.A.
On February 6, 2015, the group confirmed on Twitter that they were working on a new album. Bianca later confirmed on Twitter that she was working on an upcoming solo album. In August 2015, CocoRosie announced that their album, Heartache City was set for release in late 2015. The group also released a behind the scenes video on their YouTube account of themselves in the studio recording two songs for the album, "Hairnet Paradise" and "Big and Black." On July 10, 2015, CocoRosie released a live version of a new song entitled "Heartache City" on their SoundCloud account, with the studio version to be released on their upcoming sixth album. Shortly after, CocoRosie posted the full album to stream on their SoundCloud page. It was premiered on The Fader. The duo also released the music video for new song "Lost Girls" on Facebook. The album was eventually released in October 2015.

In October 2015, Bianca announced details of her solo project, Bianca Casady and the C.i.A, also featuring Takuya Nakamura (bass guitar and trumpet), Doug Wieselman (clarinet and e-guitar), Lacy Lancaster (drums), Jean-Marc Ruellan (piano) and Bino Sauitzvy (dance).

CocoRosie have been frequent collaborators of American avant-garde theatre director Robert Wilson, composing scores to his award-winning international productions including "Peter Pan" (2013) at the Berliner Ensemble, "Pushkin's Fairy Tales" (2015) in Moscow, "Edda" (2017) at the Norske Theater in Oslo and "The Jungle Book" (2019) in Luxembourg. They have also performed at The Watermill Center.

2017: "Smoke 'em Out" and subsequent album Put the Shine On
On January 17, 2017, the group released the single "Smoke 'em Out" featuring Anohni, a protest song against the presidential election of Donald Trump, while also confirming that they had started working on their next album, Put the Shine On.

Word to the Crow
During a 2005 interview, Bianca and Sierra Casady described an album that they had recorded prior to La Maison de Mon Rêve. The sisters described the recording as a series of acapella rap songs recorded live in a single take and was "the most psychotic thing you'll probably ever hear in your life". An article in the April 5, 2007 issue of Czech magazine HIS Voice about The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn mentioned a previously unknown body of work, created by the Casady sisters, titled Word to the Crow. Shortly after, on April 13, an article about CocoRosie on Czech news website Aktuálně wrote that on the day before the release of La Maison de Mon Rêve, the sisters recorded an "improvised rap album" of the same title.

On May 3, 2009, Portuguese music blog mojorising wrote that the sisters recorded "a hip hop album" titled Word to the Crow "just a few days before" recording La Maison de Mon Rêve, and later on May 21, the official website of the Byblos International Festival published an article saying that the sisters had "completed... a hip hop recording" of the same title prior to recording La Maison de Mon Rêve. On June 19, 2011, Russian blog lisaalya wrote that Word to the Crow was a "hip-hop record" and a "full album", recorded at the same time and in the same location as La Maison de Mon Rêve. On April 17, 2014, the album was added to CocoRosie's "artist description" on Last.fm and on June 19, 2018, All American Entertainment website and booking agency AAE Music added the album to their description of the group.

The track "The Moon asked the Crow" from the 2010 album Grey Oceans, described by critics as "a surreal mixture of classical tinkling... accompanied by a juddering hip-hop bounce" and "baroque piano noodling with a thumping, body-moving hip-hop beat", as well as having "hip-hop elements", a "moody, hip hop-inherited boom-boom-clap beat" and a "catchy hip-hoppy beat", could be inspired by or derived from the style of, if it exists, Word to the Crow. Crows are also referenced in the Grey Oceans track "Fairy Paradise" and the Put the Shine On tracks "Smash My Head" and "Hell's Gate".

Commercial use
CocoRosie has composed film scores for the 2005 French film Frankie and the 2007 German film Haus der Wünsche (international: Paperbird).

The track "Candyland" was used in the 2007 film Anna M.. The tracks "Bear Hides and Buffalo" and "Bloody Twins" are used in the 2008 gay zombie film Otto; or Up with Dead People by Bruce LaBruce. The tracks "Miracle", "Beautiful Boys", and "Honey or Tar" are used in the 2011 documentary Whores' Glory by Michael Glawogger. Sound illustrator Frédéric Sanchez used the tracks "Brazilian Sun", "Good Friday", and "Not for Sale" on the soundtrack for Miuccia Prada's Spring 2006 show, titling the piece "Coco Rosie Through the Looking Glass". The track "The Moon asked the Crow" was used in the Milan Fashion Week SS10 Runway soundtrack. The track "Werewolf" is sung repeatedly throughout the Swedish rendition of Shakespeare's Hamlet at the Royal Dramatic Theatre.

Personal life
In August 2021, the Casady family house burned down in a forest fire. Bianca stated that "The fire took everything, our family history in a material sense, all of our mother’s artwork and possessions, all of our family photographs, our collection of musical instruments and recording equipment, our costumes and on and on..." Although insurance covered the cost of rebuilding the house, it did not cover other expenses such as the cost of the music studio or musical instruments, so the Casady sisters launched a GoFundMe to cover costs.

Politics
Radical feminism is a theme within Bianca and Sierra's music and art. They have vocally criticized patriarchal religion, particularly Christianity and Islam, which they refer to as "sky god religions". They reject criticism of their anti-religious views as political correctness, saying that cultural and racial sensitivity can be a "big threat to feminism" and that they value women's rights more than freedom of religion. Bianca Casady has said that transgender identity is a theme of CocoRosie. She rejects the term "TERF" as misogynistic, and holds controversial beliefs about trans identity, stating that "many middle class Western families would nowadays prefer to have a diagnosed trans child than simply a ‘dyke’ or a ‘faggot’."

Bianca Casady has signed the "Musicians for Palestine" statement in solidarity with the Palestinian movement.
