Shock the Monkey

"Shock the Monkey" is a song by the English rock musician Peter Gabriel. It was released in September 1982 as the first single from his fourth self-titled studio album, issued in the US under the title Security.

The song peaked at number 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number one on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The song was Gabriel's first Top 40 hit in the US. In the UK, the song charted at number 58. According to AllMusic, the song has a "relentlessly repeated hook" that "sounded nothing like anything else on the radio at the time".

Billboard called it a "mysterious but infectious track...which melds synthesizers, distinctive vocal and dance rhythms to fresh effect."

Interpretation
Due to its title and the content of the music video, the song is frequently assumed to be either an animal rights song or a reference to the famous experiments by Stanley Milgram described in his book Obedience to Authority (1974). It is neither, but the Gabriel song "We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37)" from his fifth studio album So (1986) does deal directly with Milgram. Gabriel has described "Shock the Monkey" as "a love song" that examines how jealousy can release one's basic instincts; the monkey is not a literal monkey, but a metaphor for one's feelings of jealousy. Gabriel has mentioned that the song's lyrical motif was inspired by King Kong's lightning powers in the film King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962).

Music video
The track is known for its bizarre and disturbing music video, written and directed by Brian Grant of MGMM Studios, and produced by Scott Millaney. The video was played heavily in the early days of MTV. It features Gabriel (in white face paint) and a frightened-looking capuchin monkey. Gabriel appears in two guises; one is as a businessman/CIA-MK-Ultra-type in a dark suit, and the other as a "modern primitive" shaman painted and dressed in white with geometric markings in black on his face. The video cuts between two rooms, each vaguely resembling an office. A movie projector plays zoo footage of a gibbon (technically, a lesser ape, not a monkey) in both rooms. As the video proceeds, events in the 'normal' (black suit) office become increasingly irregular and disturbing with objects in the room in increasing disarray. Gabriel displays increasing pressure, anger, and fear as the chaos occurs, at one point being restrained by three little people. The office footage is increasingly interspersed with black-and-white footage of Gabriel fleeing from something unknown in a wilderness, and a disoriented Gabriel in different settings including central London in what looks to be the office of a hospital. At the end of the video, the dark-suited Gabriel merges with the face-painted Gabriel. In the final shot, the two Gabriels' faces are superimposed over that of the gibbon.

Releases
"Shock the Monkey" was released as a 7-inch picture disc in addition to the 7-inch and 12-inch black vinyl singles. Club DJ remix service Hot Tracks crafted an 8:12 version that intersperses verses and choruses sung by Gabriel in German with the more familiar English lyrics. A seven-minute-long concert version of the song appears on Gabriel's album Plays Live (1983). It is also included on the compilation albums Greenpeace (1985), Shaking the Tree: Sixteen Golden Greats (1990) and Hit (2003). The music video appears on the DVD compilation Play (2004).

Earth Day version
On 22 April 2022, a previously-unreleased alternate mix of "Shock the Monkey" was exclusively released for download on Bandcamp under the title "Shock the Monkey (EarthPercent x Earth Day Mix)". Put out as a tribute to Earth Day 2022, proceeds from the download were donated to the environmentalist organization EarthPercent, as part of a project where Gabriel and several other artists donated exclusive and rare material. This version reached number eight on Billboard's Rock Digital Song Sales chart.

Remix contest
An online contest was held in September 2006 by Realworld Remixed in which musicians and engineers were invited to submit a remix of the song. The original tracks were made available for download, offering an opportunity to work with the raw material from a hit song. The winner was Multiman's "Simian Surprise".

Talk:Coopers Brewery

Pale Ale
Why is the sparkling ale the most famous? Their Pale Ale is more popular on tap and in bottles. Ozdaren 23:14, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

It's more common in bars outside of South Australia at least. In Melbourne you're more likely to see the Sparkling (and in Sydney). Although in recent years it's more common to see both. Stewart Smith 15:41 24 September 2006

Dr Tims
I have only seen this at one college function. I believe it is a variety of Coopers. Does anyone know anything more? --Xyzzyva 07:59, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Not my favourite (I stick with good ol' pale) but its the personal brew of Dr Tim himself! michael talk 09:13, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Its essentially Pale Ale in a can. Was originally going to be called such, but they decided the taste was too different from the stuff in the bottle, so they gave it a different name NTRabbit 04:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC) -- Dr Tims was an experiment to get a Pale Ale equivalent into a can. One that worked.

Why a can?

Glass bottles are a problem as they are wisely not allowed for nearly all major outdoor events (Australia's famous weather means there are many of these!) such a triple J's Big Day Out.

What was the problem? Other beers use cans!

Because of the secondary fermentation used in Cooper's Ales it was only able to made in bottles. Cans are not strong enough to withstand the pressure built up during the 4-6 week secondary fermentation.

What was the solution?

A unique strain of the coopers yeast was developed that generates less pressure during fermentation.

Why is it called 'Dr Tim's' and not 'Pale Ale'?

Coopers are keen to protect the branding of Pale ale, and with a different yeast the new beer has a slightly different flavour. Additionally, many drinkers aver that cans impart a different (less pleasant) taste to the ale. The solution was to differentiate the product with a new name.

And here did the name come from?

The South Australian manufacturers of the cans delivered a large batch with a label they had invented, as a joke. The name stuck. The Managing Director of Coopers Brewery is Dr Tim Cooper - who is both an MD doctor and a Doctor of Medicine (Bristol)(awarded for medical research).

—Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.101.229.243 (talk) 06:31, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Update on Dr. Tims, as from mid 2019 Dr Tim's is being retired and replaced by the standard Pale Ale, in cans. The last batches of Dr. Tims were bought by Aldi in early 2019 and sold off on special (I bought a carton.. basically identical beer to the pale). I have also tried the canned pale ale and there's no problem with over carbonation. These people run a sophiticated modern brewery after all. MichaelGG (talk) 05:32, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Not the only SA beer available interstate
I think the comment about Cooper's being the only SA beer available outside the state is incorrect. Southwark has long been commonly available in bottle shops in NSW. Shermozle

Southwark is occasionally available in Queensland and I recently drank West End on tap in Alice Springs (NT)MichaelGG
 * That could be true. West End is also available in Broken Hill (though BH is considered by some to be an SA outpost anyway). SA beer being available in the NT could be a hangover from NT's connection to SA in the past. Ozdaren 04:25, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

The only good SA beer available interstate? West End is rubbish. Should this page have some mention of the home brews?Ticklemygrits 15:00, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I removed the sentence stating that Coopers is the only SA beer sold interstate, as it's wrong. I have bought Southwark Premium in Sydney from several bottle shops, and have seen it in Sydney pubs.Kim.mason 06:33, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

 * The statement that Coopers is available on tap as a specialty beer in some bars is perhaps out of date. Following sales pushes in the last few years, Coopers Pale Ale on tap is now very common throughout New South Wales and into Queensland. Original research here in Taree NSW (a "working class" town) Coopers Pale Ale is in over half the pubs and clubs in town. Enjoyable original research. --MichaelGG (talk) 10:33, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Coopers continues to make inroads into New South Wales pubs - the Pale Ale is now very commonly found on tap along with Light and the occasional Mild, and I have altered the article appropriately. --MichaelGG (talk) 05:27, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

talk:Pale ale
Is Coopers the exemplar for Australian pale ale? Have a look at the talk page on Pale ale. Any thoughts? Ozdaren 04:58, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Bought Out?
I may be wrong but I very vividly remember something in the media a number of years ago about an 'American Brewery' buying Coopers? Which would implicate that it is now an American beer? Please check —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.217.137.115 (talk) 04:51, 18 April 2007 (UTC).
 * The brewery is still family owned and is certainly not American! ◄ scharks ►  09:47, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * There was an attempt to buy it but it didn't happen. I'm not sure if there was any American involvement. Ben Aveling 10:09, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, there was an attempt to buy it - by Kirin-owned Lion Nathan. i.e. Japanese. i.e. NO American involvement. (Refer to the article.) Pdfpdf (talk) 14:28, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

San check please
Is this right? Regards, Ben Aveling 01:36, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I've never seen anyone roll one like that, in my experience, people generally tip the bottle upside down and gently rotate it —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

Yes the roll is as pictured, typically on the bar.

More often performed with Sparkling than Pale - Sparkles is stronger!

 * I'd dispute that -- although it is stronger, Sparkling has less sediment on average. No-one I know tips Sparkling, almost everyone tips the Pale. I've never seen anyone roll the bottle as illustrated -- there would be too great a chance of the contents overflowing when it opened. 121.45.13.27 (talk) 02:22, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

yep that's how its done. and you keep the lid on when rolling. its done before opening (obviously!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.169.46 (talk) 12:26, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

It's an affectation. Just twist the lid and pour. Doug butler (talk) 14:51, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Family owned
Isn't it like the largest or only commercial family owned brewery in australia/world or something Althalitus (talk) 04:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Nowadays (2017) it is the largest Australian-owned brewery - family-owned or otherwise. (I hope it's not the only commercial family-owned brewery!) Pdfpdf (talk) 14:33, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Obituary: Nathan ____ Jaramillo.
By telephone from SALT LAKE CITY -- Nathan Jaramillo died sometime last week. He is Trina and Todd Jaramillo's son. He was sleeping in a chair or baby-car-seat at a day-care in Herriman, Utah, where his parents live, when he mysteriously and suddenly died. We're moved--he was 11 months old. Yes. But there is no fear of his having more than expired at that date, although, surely, there are lots of perils in the world. The sad news was communicated secondhand to Mrs. Kathy Snow, his great-aunt and my Mother, by telephone. The coroner will take some six weeks before reporting on the cause of death, as is normal. Naturally my little cousin, once-removed, is survived by everybody. 30 Oct 2008(talk) 03:56, [Word 1000] 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Quoting "...A More Excellent Way", by Neal A. Maxwell
A precious little tidbit.

"Among the things which facilitate learning are the presence of agency and alternatives. No real growth can occur in the absence of alternatives. This is so easy to say, but its implications are so hard for most of us to accept. If we agree to the need for alternatives upon which our agency can operate, this means that part of our lives will inevitably be spent in the [management] of conflict and in resolving the conflicting ideas and drives within us and others. Learning is facilitated by a blend of agency and alternatives, if we are willing to commit ourselves to the resolution of resultant conflict over our choices." --pp. 45-6 (Copyright 1967, Deseret Book Co., Salt Lake City, Utah.)Dsnow75 [[User Talk: Dsnow75|Talk]] (talk) 22:02, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Regia

The Regia ("Royal house") was a two-part structure in Ancient Rome lying along the Via Sacra at the edge of the Roman Forum that originally served as the residence or one of the main headquarters of kings of Rome and later as the office of the pontifex maximus, the highest religious official of Rome. It occupied a triangular patch of terrain between the Temple of Vesta, the Temple of Divus Julius and Temple of Antoninus and Faustina. Only the foundations of Republican/Imperial Regia remain. Like the Curia it was destroyed and rebuilt several times, as far back as the Roman monarchy. Studies have found multiple layers of similar buildings with more regular features, prompting the theory that this "Republican Regia" was to have a different use.

History
According to ancient tradition it was built by the second king of Rome, Numa Pompilius, as a royal palace. Indeed, the Latin term regia can be translated as royal residence. It is said that he also built the Temple of Vesta and the House of the Vestal Virgins as well as the Domus Publica. This created a central area for political and religious life in the city and Kingdom. When Caesar became Pontifex Maximus, he exercised his duties from the Regia.

The archives of the pontifices were kept here, the formulas of all kinds of prayers, vows, sacrifices, etc., the state calendar of sacred days, the Annales — the record of events of each year for public reference — and the laws relating to marriage, death, wills, etc.

The Regia was the place of assembly of the College of Pontiffs and at times of the Fratres Arvales. It was burned and restored in 148 BC and again in 36 BC, eight years after the death of Julius Caesar, when the restoration was carried out in marble by Gnaeus Domitius Calvinus, on the regal foundation.

Architecture
The rebuilt structure (which seems to have been transformed into a private residential building sometime during the 7th or 8th centuries) had an irregularly formed enclosed courtyard that was paved in tuff with a wooden portico. The interior was divided into three rooms with entrance from the courtyard into the middle room.

The West Room was the shrine of Mars, sacrarium Martis, in which the ancilia (shields) of Mars were stored. Here, too, stood the lances that were consecrated to Mars, the hastae Martiae. According to legend reported by Aulus Gellius, if the lances started vibrating something terrible would happen. According to Cassius Dio (XLIV.17.2), they are said to have vibrated on the night of 14 March 44 BC when, in spite of the vibrating lances, Caesar, Pontifex Maximus at the time, left the Regia to attend a meeting of the Senate, where he was assassinated.

The East Room contained a sanctuary of Ops Consiva, so sacred that only the pontifex maximus and the Vestal Virgins were allowed to enter it.

The site of the Regia has been investigated via archaeological excavation for some time, although a comprehensive publication of the site is still forthcoming. The site was first cleared between 1872 and 1875. In 1876 F. Dutert discussed the site in his volume on the Forum Romanum, and, subsequently, Nichols identified the site as being the Regia in 1886. The site was explored again by Hülsen in 1889. The Italian archaeologist Giacomo Boni conducted excavations at the site in 1899. The American archaeologist Frank Brown dug at the site in the 1930s and again in the 1960s. The architectural terracottas from the Brown excavations were published in 1995.

Mr. Bucket

Mr. Bucket is a tabletop game and toy published by Milton Bradley and released in 1991, which was discontinued but re-released in 2007. It was discontinued again and re-released again in 2017. The game features a plastic, motorized bucket which ejects differently-colored balls from its mouth. The players use plastic shovels to scoop up the balls and place them back inside Mr. Bucket.

Gameplay
The objective of the game is for a player to get all of their balls into Mr. Bucket before he pops them out of his mouth. To set up the game, blue, green, yellow, and red plastic balls are scattered across the floor. Each player chooses a shovel that corresponds to the ball color they need to collect. To start the game, one player switches on Mr. Bucket. Once Mr. Bucket is switched on, players scoop up the balls that match their shovel's color and drop them into the top of Mr. Bucket. While the players collect their balls, at regular intervals Mr. Bucket spits out one of the balls that are inside him. The winner is the first player to get all three of their balls in Mr. Bucket at the same time.

Awards
Oa Therapy Associates, a clinic in the treatment for sensory problems, included "Mr. Bucket" in 2005's list of toys that helps hand/eye coordination.

Gajanan Maharaj

Gajanan Maharaj was an Indian Hindu guru, saint and mystic. His origins remain uncertain. He first appeared at Shegaon, a village in Buldhana district, Maharashtra, as a young man aged 30, probably on 23 February 1878. He attained Sanjeevana Samadhi on September 8, 1910, which is thought to be a process of voluntary withdrawal from one's physical body. This date of his Samadhi is commemorated every year as part of the Shree Punyatithi Utsav. The date of his first appearance is considered an auspicious day and is celebrated as Prakat Din Sohla.

Background and biographical versions
Gajanan Maharaj's birth data and details of his early life are unknown. He is believed to have first appeared in February 1878 at Shegaon.

One of his biographies, known as Shree Gajanan Maharaj Charitra-Kosh, was written by Dasbhargav or Bhargavram Yeodekar, a native of Shegaon. The biography mentions various versions of Gajanan Maharaj's origins. While at Nashik, Dasbhargav is thought to have met a contemporary saint known as Swami Shivanand Saraswati, who was speculated to be 129 years old at the time. According to Shivanand, he was a Brahmin who had previously met Gajanan Maharaj in 1887 at Nashik. He informed Dasbhargav about the period when Gajanan Maharaj appeared in Shegaon, where he lived for the remainder of his life. He said he had made around 25 to 30 visits to Gajanan Maharaj during this period. Shivanand Swami also said that he would often visit Dadasaheb Khaparde, a resident at Amravati, and stay with his family during these visits. It is noted that Shivanand Swami later traveled to the Himalayas and was never seen again (according to pages 362–365 of the biography mentioned above that details the conversation between Dasbhargav and Shivanand Swami). It is also believed that Shivanand Swami may have been a former resident at Sajjangad, Maharashtra, where the prominent 17th-century saint and philosopher Samarth Ramdas lived for many years. Gajanan Maharaj was an ardent user of marijuana and hashish, exemplified in almost all available images in the public domain from the time of his attaining samadhi. Even the temple premises where he attained samadhi and his sitting position with one hand at the top,showing like an elephant a symbolic representation of shri Ganapathy Dev.

Another biography of Gajanan Maharaj, known as Shree Gajanan Vijay, was composed by Das Ganu, born at Akolner. Das Ganu, who was initially named Narayan by his maternal relatives, had at some point moved to Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, where his father had been a caretaker of a property. He was later renamed Ganesh, and his grandfather often called him Ganu, a shorter version of his name. When he arrived at Pandharpur, Das Ganu was contacted by a resident at Shegaon, Ramchandra Krishnaji Patil, also a devotee of Gajanan Maharaj. He advised Das Ganu to write a biography on Gajanan Maharaj.

He was believed to have once visited Nashik, Maharashtra, and the surrounding pilgrimage sites, including Kapiltirtha. He lived at Kapiltirtha for around 12 years. Contemporaries of Gajanan Maharaj identified him by several names, including Gin Gine Buwa, Ganpat Buwa, and Awaliya Baba.

Parallels with other prominent saints and spiritual masters
According to his biography, Shree Gajanan Vijay, Gajanan Maharaj used to consider a few other spiritual personalities such as Narasingji, Vasudevanand Saraswati (Tembhe Swami Maharaj) and Sai Baba of Shirdi as brothers. Gajanan Maharaj appeared as the Hindu deity Vitthala in Pandharapur for his one devotee, Bapuna Kale. He also appeared as Samarth Ramdas for another devotee.

There are some similarities between Gajanan Maharaj and Swami Samarth of Akkalkot, another Hindu guru and mystic. They both were Paramahans and AjanBahu. They represent different forms taken from the same source.

He is regarded as an enlightened being. He received a significant following in Maharashtra; lacs of people visit the Shegaon temple annually. According to the Shree Gajanan Vijay, he was an exponent of three streams of Yoga, i.e. Karma, Bhakti, and Gyan Yoga.

Appearances and divine powers
According to a legend, a money lender named Bankat Lal Agarwal first saw Gajanan Maharaj in a "superconscious state" on 23 February 1878 on a street, eating leftover food which was thrown (and thus spreading the message that food is life and food should not be wasted). Sensing him to be not an ordinary man who needs food to eat but a Yogi, Bankat took him home and asked Maharaj to stay with him. In his lifetime, he performed many miracles such as giving a fresh lease on life to one Janrao Deshmukh, lighting the clay pipe without fire, filling a dry well with water, drawing sugar cane juice by twisting canes with his hands, curing leprosy of a man, healing himself of the many bites of honey bees, etc. Some of the above acts are because Shri Gajanan Maharaj knew Yoga Shastra on his admission in the book by Shri Das Ganu Maharaj.

During a public meeting on Shiv Jayanti, the great freedom fighter Lokmanya Tilak met Gajanan Maharaj. When Tilak delivered a charismatic speech, Maharaj predicted Tilak would get a harsh sentence from the British Raj. Maharaj's words did come true; however, Tilak is said to have taken the blessings of Maharaj and his Prasad, which helped him in writing his book – Shrimadh Bhagvad Gita Rahasya, which is the summarised version of the holy book of Hindus, the Bhagavad Gita.

Shree Gajanan Maharaj took Samadhi on 8 September 1910. His earthly remains were buried, and a temple in his name was built on his Samadhi at Shegaon. Maharaj was prescient and had predicted his time on this earth was nearly over. His devotees had built the temple in his honour for some time before his Samadhi-din. His Samadhi mandir is just below the temple of Shri Ram. It is said that Shri Gajanan Maharaj would routinely worship at the temple of Shri Ram during his lifetime. Shri Gajanan Maharaj was fond of smoking ganja in his chillum and is supposed to have also started a dhooni (loosely meaning hearth, but representing a glowing chillum during his lifetime. The dhooni is still burning and is located very near the Samadhi mandir. When he filled a dry well with water, the saint who had denied him water, saying all wells here are dry, Shri Bhaskar Maharaj Jayle, later became his big devotee. Bhaskar Maharaj's grandson, Shri Vasudeva Maharaj Jayle, was also a great devotee [1] of Gajanan Maharaj, whose Shraddhasagar Ashram in Akot is a spiritual place for devotees in nearby areas..

Shri Sant Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan
In the presence of Gajanan Maharaj, Shri Sant Gajanan Maharaj Sansthan, a body of 12 trustees was formed on 12 September 1908 to commemorate the holy place which Maharaj had hinted Ya Jagi Rahil Re (It will be at this place) about his place and day for Samadhi. Shri Gajanan Maharaj Mandir is located below the temple of Shri Ram. In the same area, there is the place where the Dhooni is burning. Also nearby, the Dhooni is where the devotees can see Maharaj's paduka (wooden sandals), the temple of Vithoba and Rukmini, and the temple of Hanuman. There is an umbar tree just near the temple of Hanuman, which is said to have existed since the days of Shri Gajanan Maharaj.

Shivshankar Patil is the head of the trust. Educational institutions run by the trust are located at Shegaon and are affiliated with Amravati University. These colleges are one of the best institutes for engineering education in the Vidarbha region. The Anand Sagar project for tourists was developed in 2005 by the trust and spans over 650 acres. It is one of the largest amusement places in Maharashtra. Shegaon is on the main line Mumbai-Howrah route. Most trains going to Howrah stop for around 2–3 minutes at Shegaon.

Gajanan Maharaj Temples are spread in various parts of India, such as Indore and Dewas.

Mound-building termites

Mound-building termites are a group of termite species that live in mounds which are made of a combination of soil, termite saliva and dung. These termites live in Africa, Australia and South America. The mounds sometimes have a diameter of 30 m. Most of the mounds are in well-drained areas. Termite mounds usually outlive the colonies themselves. If the inner tunnels of the nest are exposed it is usually dead. Sometimes other colonies, of the same or different species, occupy a mound after the original builders' deaths.

Mound structure
The structure of the mounds can be very complicated. Inside the mound is an extensive system of tunnels and conduits that serves as a ventilation system for the underground nest. In order to get good ventilation, the termites will construct several shafts leading down to the cellar located beneath the nest. The mound is built above the subterranean nest. The nest itself is a spheroidal structure consisting of numerous gallery chambers. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Some, like Odontotermes termites build open chimneys or vent holes into their mounds, while others build completely enclosed mounds like Macrotermes. The Amitermes (Magnetic termites) mounds are created tall, thin, wedge-shaped, usually oriented north-south.

Ventilation in mounds

The extensive system of tunnels and conduits have long been considered to help control climate inside the mound. The termite mound is able to regulate temperature, humidity and respiratory gas distribution. An early proposition suggested a thermosiphon mechanism. The heat created due to the metabolism of termites imparts sufficient buoyancy to the nest air to push it up into the mound and eventually to the mound’s porous surface where heat and gases exchange with the atmosphere through the porous walls. The density of air near the surface rises due to heat exchange and is forced below the nest and eventually through the nest again. This model was proposed for mounds with capped chimneys and with no large vents constructed by the species Macrotermes natalensis. A similar model based on the Stack effect was proposed for mounds with open-chimneys. The tall chimneys are exposed to higher wind velocities compared to openings at ground level due to surface boundary condition. Therefore, a Venturi flow draws fresh air into the mound through the openings at ground level which flows through the nest and finally out of the mound through the chimney. The flow is unidirectional in the stack effect model compared to the circulatory flow in the thermosiphon model.

Odontotermes transvaalensis mound temperature is not regulated by ventilation within the mound. The tall chimneys rather induce flow due to the Venturi effect and are the primary facilitators of ventilation. Research conducted on Macrotermes michaelseni mounds has shown that the primary role played by the mound is that of exchanging respiratory gases. The complex interaction between the mound and kinetic energy of turbulent winds are the driving forces for the colony’s gas exchange. But recent studies on the Macrotermes michaelseni mound with a better built custom sensor to measure airflow suggests that the air in the mound largely moves due to the convective flows induced by the diurnal oscillation of the external temperature. A secondary thermal gradient is generated due to partial exposure of east side of the mound to the sun before and west side of the mound after noon. Improved reliability of the sensor suggests that wind plays a secondary role relative to the dominant thermal mechanism in ventilation. Wind enhances the exchange of gases near the walls but does not induce significant average or transient flows within the mound. Overall, a similar mechanism of ventilation and thermoregulation is observed in Macrotermes michaelseni and Odontotermes obesus mounds.

Social castes
Workers, smallest in size, are the most numerous of the castes. They are all completely blind, wingless, and sexually immature. Their job is to feed and groom all of the dependent castes. They also dig tunnels, locate food and water, maintain colony atmospheric homeostasis, and build and repair the nest.

The soldiers' job is to defend the colony from any unwanted animals. When the large soldiers attack they emit a drop of brown, corrosive salivary liquid which spreads between the open mandibles. When they bite, the liquid spreads over the opponent. The secretion is commonly stated to be toxic or undergoes coagulation with the air which renders it glue-like.

Finally, there are the reproductives which include the king and the queen. The queen can sometimes grow up to six centimeters long while the lower classes are generally less than one centimeter.

Other life on termite mounds
Vegetation on termite mounds usually differs highly from vegetation in the surrounding. In African savannas, Macrotermes mounds form 'islands' with high tree densities. This is usually attributed to the fact that due to the digging of termites and due to their decomposition of plant material, the mound soils are generally more fertile than other soil. On top of that, mound soils have been found to contain more water than their surroundings, a clear advantage for plant growth in savannas. The high tree densities on termite mounds attract high densities of browsing herbivores, due to the high nutrient contents in foliage from trees growing on mounds, or perhaps due to the high quantities of food and shelter on mounds.

Brazilian caatinga mounds
The caatinga ecoregion in northeast Brazil has about 200 million termite mounds spread over an area the size of Great Britain. Some of the mounds are 3 m tall and 10 m wide, and they are spaced about 20 m apart. Underneath the mounds are networks of tunnels that required the excavation of 10 km3 of dirt. Scientists performed radioactive dating on 11 mounds. The youngest mound was 690 years old. The oldest was at least 3,820 years and possibly more than twice that. The mounds were built by Syntermes dirus termites, which are about half an inch long. Deforestation in the region helped to reveal the extent of the mounds to scientists. One scientist stated that the mounds apparently represent "the world's most extensive bio-engineering effort by a single insect species".

Guaracheros de Regla

Guaracheros de Regla was the name of a carnival comparsa of Havana, Cuba. Created by Humberto Medina, known as the Guarachero Mayor.

Overview
The group started in 1959 in Regla and in 1960 were invited to the Havana carnivals. One of the top dance groups during the 1960s. As was the traditional custom, they started in La Punta on the Malecón.They danced southward on Prado Avenue to circle in front of the Capitol, where the judges would assess their mastery in the competition.

Guaracheros de Regla was an extremely accomplished "comparsa" (dance group), usually winning the top honor in the comparsa contest every year at the Havana carnival. Originally young adults of college age and older made up the body of dancers, but when Raul Castro decided in 1965 to put every male older than 15 years in military service, all the dancers who were able to join the comparsa were barely in their teens.

Vandalism?
Why have all the letter "e"s been replaced with "z"s?

Copyright of images
This is a very nice article - but I wonder about the images. The source for them says:

"Except where noted, all photographs are by the late Svienn Eirikksen, fire marshal of the town of Vestmannaeyjar."

Presumably this garbled name is supposed to be "Sveinn Eiríksson" or something to that effect. In any case I highly doubt that he was an employee of the United States Geological Survey as the image description pages imply.

We may well be able to use these images, but I doubt that they're really strictly in the public domain. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 12:01, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I thought these would be OK as they were used in the USGS ´Fire and Water´ report which I used as a reference in writing this article. I was perhaps optimistically thinking they would be free if they appeared in USGS work, even if not originally produced by USGS - I couldn´t find anything that said they would not be free.  Worldtraveller 21:01, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

 * There's a great many inaccuracies in this article. To name one offhandedly, Helgafell, which truly does mean holy mountain actually doesn't in this case, since there's nothing holy about it - rather it is named after the slave Helgi who was slain there, according to certain versions of Landnámubók. I'll try to clear up the inaccuracies later on... uhm.. bug me on my Icelandic user talk if I forget. Btw, I lived "beside" Eldfell for about 11 years and was the originator of the MediaWiki-based encyclopedia of Vestmannaeyjar, Heimaslóð (Icelandic only; the english bit sucks)... sorry to have missed this article for so long, I only just noticed it on Icelandic Wikipedians' notice board. --Smári McCarthy 13:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Units
This is an excellent article - thank you. There was some inconsistency in unit spelling and order. I have corrected this to use metric, US equivalent in parentheses and non-US spellings throughout. Bazza 12:16, 29 March 2006 (UTC) (signed later as I forgot!)

Minor lead request
What language does Eldfell mean Fire Mountain in? Staxringold 23:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It's Icelandic. I was about to edit the lead to mention that, but then I wondered if it is not already reasonably clear - Iceland is mentioned in the first sentence, so for style reasons I'd prefer to avoid the word Icelandic in the very next sentence.  If you definitely think it needs explicitly stating I'll rewrite the whole paragraph.  Worldtraveller 16:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * That's what I would have guessed, but I think it's worth a mention (and I don't think repeating Icelandic is a bad thing). Staxringold 21:31, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * OK - added the language. If you can think of a better phrasing please edit it!  Worldtraveller 17:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Awesome article
This was a riveting read. Great example of a FA and great writing.--Anchoress 01:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I second that. Congratulations to everyone involved! --Kripkenstein 16:43, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Quite a good read. It's screaming for a picture of the "lava cooling operations"; the aerial photo doesn't do it any justice. Tempshill 18:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

height not accurate
I'm sure it's just a typo, but this volcano seems impossibly large. see intro para. can someone please substitute correct height?

 * The height, along with some other things, were changed by a vandal 6 minutes before you made this talk comment. It was fixed (partly by an anon IP, partly by myself) 3 minutes afterward. -- Jonel | Speak 01:34, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

internal links of dates
could some of the internal links for dates be removed? excessive internal linking of dates is really a serious problem on Wikipedia... ppl regard the linking a necessary format...--K.C. Tang 03:26, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Why is it such a problem? I internally link dates because doing so allows locale-specific date formatting, e.g. when I write 7 February, Commonwealth users will see "7 February" and North Americans will see "February 7", provided you're configured date formatting when setting up your account. --Saforrest 06:06, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
 * so there's a reason, i see... maybe i'm a bit too fussy:)--K.C. Tang 15:46, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

strange spelling
Strange spelling...technically "fire mountain" in Icelandic would be ELDFJALL. I started to make the corrections but note that in several locations the specific volcano on Heimaey is spelled ELDFELL.
 * And since you left the name form quite inconsistent (and also Helgafell/Helgafjall), I have reverted the article to the version before your edits. Bishonen | talk 23:23, 14 April 2006 (UTC).
 * Fell and fjall are both Icelandic words for mountain. The correct name here is Eldfell. --Heida Maria 22:16, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

One third?
Hi, from the article: It is estimated that a third of all the basaltic lava erupted in the world in recorded history has been produced by Icelandic eruptions. - can anybody prove this (name a good source). If yes: what is ment with this, what timeframe does it apply to? --Wirthi 08:23, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I'll add inline citations to this article shortly - I believe this particular fact may come from a reference that's not actually listed at the moment, Decker and Decker's Volcanoes. I'd guess the time frame must mean since Icelandic settlement, as before that would be before 'historical' times in Iceland.  Worldtraveller 11:36, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

 * ok, thanks for your work on this article. I'll keep the german translation updated from time to time. But about the third: it's about worldwide lava eruptions, so I would not automatically imply a connection to the settlement of Iceland. --Wirthi 13:15, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Eldfell != Mountain of Fire
The leading section claims "Eldfell" is translated as "Mountain of Fire", wouldn't it be better referred to as "Fell of Fire" or even better rewritten as "(literally Firefell)"? --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 02:59, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Lava-cooling operations in Edinburgh of the Seven Seas
It would be interesting to find out how the lava-cooling operations carried out more than 10 years earlier in Edinburgh of the Seven Seas compare to those described in the article.

 * I'd be very much interested in comparing the two, if I could find any references to any lava cooling operations in Edinburgh of the Seven Seas. Everywhere I looked gave me very limited information about the eruption, only that it happened in 1961, the entire village was evacuated to UK and most of the villagers were back by 1963. There's no mentioning of any lava cooling operations, so if there was any, I can only guess it was very small scale and not particularly noteworthy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Einargizz (talk • contribs) 18:11, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Non-explanitory article
The article opens with "Eldfell is a composite cone as it is made up of layers of dried lava and then ash giving it distinctive layers of different compositions volcano just over 200 metres (650 ft) high on the Icelandic island of Heimaey." This is assuming that the reader already knows it is a volcano. Plus, it doesn't say if it is active or dormant, or whether it is a shield or a stratovolcano. I think there is a lot of room for improvment. --The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 23:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

 * The bit you quote is partly a correction, but mainly an editorial comment, posted a few days ago. I'll fix it. The rest of your points seem poorly founded: that sentence does say it's a volcano, it erupted in 1973 so is clearly active, and composite volcano is a synonym for stratovolcano. Yes, it needs to be improved, but I think not in those ways. -- Avenue (talk) 02:19, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Griesheim, Hesse

Griesheim is the largest town in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district in Hesse, Germany, with just over 28,000 inhabitants as of December 2023. It is located within the regierungsbezirk (lit. 'governmental district' or 'administrative district') of Darmstadt.

News of the Dagger Complex, which emerged as the most important of the NSA's headquarters in Europe in the wake of the global surveillance disclosures, brought Griesheim to public attention in 2013.

History
Griesheim, although inhabited since around 4500 BCE, first appeared in historical records only in 1165 CE. Throughout its history, wine production played a significant role in the town's economy. The arrival of the Protestant Reformation in 1529 marked an important religious turning point for the town.

The devastating impact of the Thirty Year War heavily affected Griesheim, almost bringing the town to extinction. Many residents sought refuge within the walls of Darmstadt, where they faced the outbreak of plague. Only 37 individuals managed to rebuild the community following the war's end in 1648.

During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Griesheim thrived as a center for the production and trade of fir tree seeds, contributing to its local industry. Additionally, woodworking became an important trade in the city.

In 1874, an artillery range was established in the southwest part of Griesheim. In 1908, August Euler opened the first airfield in Germany, known as Griesheim Airport. From 1918 to 1930, Griesheim was under French occupation, and during World War II, the city suffered significant damage, with 65% of its buildings destroyed. After the war, Griesheim provided shelter for approximately 4,000 refugees. Following successful reconstruction, the Hessian state government granted Griesheim township rights on September 12, 1965.

Farming remains an important aspect of Griesheim's economy. The city is home to a local history and culture museum, showcasing archaeological artifacts and documenting its historical connection to St. Stephen. The museum also houses archaeological exhibits.

Since 1977, the Griesheimer Zwiebelmarkt (Onion Market) is held annually in late September, which attracts visitors to the city center between Wagenhalle and Hans-Karl-Platz.

Jacobi integral

In celestial mechanics, Jacobi's integral (also known as the Jacobi integral or Jacobi constant) is the only known conserved quantity for the circular restricted three-body problem. Unlike in the two-body problem, the energy and momentum of each the system bodies comprising the system are not conserved separately, and a general analytical solution is not possible. With the gravitational force being conservative, the total energy (hamiltonian), the linear moment and the angular momentum of an isolated three-body system (the problem being either restricted or not) are conserved.

It was named after German mathematician Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi.

Synodic system
One of the suitable coordinate systems used is the so-called synodic or co-rotating system, placed at the barycentre, with the line connecting the two masses μ1, μ2 chosen as x-axis and the length unit equal to their distance. As the system co-rotates with the two masses, they remain stationary and positioned at (−μ2, 0) and (+μ1, 0).

In the (x, y)-coordinate system, the Jacobi constant is expressed as follows:

 * $$C_J=n^2 \left(x^2+y^2\right) + 2 \left(\frac{\mu_1}{r_1}+\frac{\mu_2}{r_2}\right) - \left(\dot x^2+\dot y^2+\dot z^2\right)$$

where:

 * n = $2\pi⁄T$ is the mean motion (orbital period T)
 * μ1 = Gm1, μ2 = Gm2, for the two masses m1, m2 and the gravitational constant G
 * r1, r2 are distances of the test particle from the two masses

Note that the Jacobi integral is minus twice the total energy per unit mass in the rotating frame of reference: the first term relates to centrifugal potential energy, the second represents gravitational potential and the third is the kinetic energy. In this system of reference, the forces that act on the particle are the two gravitational attractions, the centrifugal force and the Coriolis force. Since the first three can be derived from potentials and the last one is perpendicular to the trajectory, they are all conservative, so the energy measured in this system of reference (and hence, the Jacobi integral) is a constant of motion. For a direct computational proof, see below.

Sidereal system
In the inertial, sidereal co-ordinate system (ξ, η, ζ), the masses are orbiting the barycentre. In these co-ordinates the Jacobi constant is expressed by

 * $$C_J=2 \left(\frac{\mu_1}{r_1}+\frac{\mu_2}{r_2}\right) + 2n\left(\xi \dot \eta- \eta \dot \xi\right) - \left(\dot \xi ^2+\dot \eta ^2+\dot \zeta^2\right).$$

Derivation
In the co-rotating system, the accelerations can be expressed as derivatives of a single scalar function

 * $$U(x,y,z)=\frac{n^2}{2}\left(x^2+y^2\right)+\frac{\mu_1}{r_1}+\frac{\mu_2}{r_2}$$

Using Lagrangian representation of the equations of motion:

Multiplying Eqs. ($$), ($$), and ($$) by ẋ, ẏ and ż respectively and adding all three yields

 * $$\dot x \ddot x+\dot y \ddot y +\dot z \ddot z = \frac{\delta U}{\delta x}\dot x + \frac{\delta U}{\delta y}\dot y + \frac{\delta U}{\delta z}\dot z = \frac{dU}{dt} $$

Integrating yields

 * $$\dot x^2+\dot y^2+\dot z^2=2U-C_J $$

where CJ is the constant of integration.

The left side represents the square of the velocity v of the test particle in the co-rotating system.

Rhododendron State Park

Rhododendron State Park is a public recreation area and nature preserve occupying 2723 acre on and around Little Monadnock Mountain in Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire, United States. The state park contains a 16 acre stand of native Rhododendron maximum, the largest of nineteen similar stands in central and northern New England, the northern limit of their growing range. The stand was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1982. The park also includes wild blueberries, cranberries, mountain laurel, heathers, mayflower, and wintergreen.

History
In 1901-1902 Mary Lee Ware played a pivotal role in the creation of the park. In 1901, landowner Levi Fuller planned to "lumber off" the property and would have if not for Mary, who bought it in 1902. Giving it to the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) a year later, she signed the deal on the condition that the woodland "...be held as a reservation properly protected and open to the public..." The contract barred cutting down any trees or picking any rhododendron, a promise that has been broken only once due to the 1938 hurricane.

The donated land is called "Old Patch Place," remodeled by the AMC as a hostel/clubhouse but has since 1946 come under the protection of the N.H. Division of Parks and Recreation — the system's only designated botanical park. The Old Patch Place cottage near the park entrance was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

Activities and amenities
The rhododendrons bloom in mid-July. The park is open year-round. Hiking, picnicking, and snowshoeing are available. The Metacomet-Monadnock Trail passes through the state park on the way to the summit of Little Monadnock Mountain, which is outside the park limits.

Ross Wilson (musician)

Ross Andrew Wilson (born 18 November 1947) is an Australian singer-songwriter, musician and producer. He is the co-founder and frontman of the long-standing rock groups Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock, as well as a number of other former bands, in addition to performing solo. He has produced records for bands such as Skyhooks and Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons, as well as for those of his own bands. He appeared as a judge on celebrity singing TV series It Takes Two from 2005. Wilson was individually inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame in 1989 and again as a member of Daddy Cool in 2006. Ross currently resides in the Melbourne suburb of Port Melbourne.

Early years
Wilson's father was an amateur jazz musician and his mother would play classical music on the piano at their home in the Melbourne suburb of Hampton. Wilson learnt to sing harmonies with the local Anglican church choir and was selected as a boy soprano wedding singer. In 1958, at ten and a half years old, he and his father attended their first rock & roll show featuring Johnny O'Keefe, Jerry Lee Lewis and Buddy Holly and the Crickets. A car accident in 1963 caused severe injuries. During recovery over subsequent months, Wilson took up harmonica playing and would copy from records to develop his playing style.

Wilson began his musical career in 1964 and formed his first band The Pink Finks with thirteen-year-old Ross Hannaford (guitar and vocals), who would become his long-time musical partner, whilst both were still at school. They released a cover version of "Louie Louie" as a single in 1965 on their own label, Mojo, and followed with three more singles after being signed to local label W & G. At about this time he met Patricia Higgins (future Pat Wilson) whilst working at the Department of Supply. The Pink Finks was followed by the more progressively oriented The Party Machine (1967–69) still with Hannaford, but included Mike Rudd on bass (later in Spectrum). Compensation for his earlier car accident was received by 1969, which enabled Wilson to travel to England with Pat. He had been invited by Brian Peacock (bass guitar) to join his band Procession. Whilst there, Wilson married Pat, recorded an album Procession with the band and began to work on the song "Eagle Rock". Wilson returned to Australia later that year and formed Sons of the Vegetal Mother (1969–70), again including Hannaford and Rudd, a group inspired by the work of Frank Zappa.

1970–1976: Daddy Cool and producing Skyhooks
In 1970 Sons of the Vegetal Mother formed a side-project called Daddy Cool. The original members were Wilson, Hannaford (vocals and guitars), Gary Young (drums, vocals) and Wayne Duncan (bass, vocals), other members that joined, included saxophonist Jeremy Noone and guitarist Ian Winter.

Known for their "good time" image, Daddy Cool's repertoire mixed covers of 1950s R&B and doo-wop classics with original compositions mostly written by Wilson. The band signed to the independent Sparmac label, co-owned by producer and former child prodigy guitarist Robie Porter. Daddy Cool became very popular in Australia and their records also gained a following in the US and Canada in the early 1970s. They scored a nationwide No. 1 hit in Australia in mid-1971 with the single "Eagle Rock" and their debut LP, Daddy Who? Daddy Cool, also reached No. 1 to set a record as the biggest selling Australian album to that time. The "Eagle Rock" promo was directed by Chris Löfvén who had earlier that year directed the video for Spectrum's single "I'll Be Gone".

Around this time Ross and wife Pat both appeared naked in a short film directed by Chris Löfvén titled "The Beginning" which is an extra on the DVD release of Oz.

After Daddy Cool broke up late in 1972, Wilson and Hannaford formed the short-lived Mighty Kong which included former Spectrum drummer Ray Arnott and Company Caine guitarist Russell Smith. They recorded only one LP, All I Wanna Do Is Rock released on Porter's new label Wizard Records, but the band broke up soon after. Whilst performing with Mighty Kong, Wilson was impressed by a fledgling Melbourne band called Skyhooks and signed their main songwriter Greg Macainsh to his publishing company.

Daddy Cool made a surprise reformation for the January 1974 Sunbury Pop Festival and remained together until late 1975. Also performing at Sunbury in 1974 were Skyhooks and, despite being booed off stage, Wilson recommended the band to Mushroom Records boss Michael Gudinski. In June / July 1974 Wilson took time off from Daddy Cool and produced Skyhook's breakthrough debut album Living in the Seventies, which overtook Daddy Cool's first album to become the biggest-selling Australian LP. He went on to produce their next two albums, Ego is not a Dirty Word (1975) and Straight in a Gay Gay World (1976), both of which were also successes in Australia.

1976–1991: Mondo Rock and solo
Contractual problems with Porter's Wizard label, to whom Wilson was signed at the time, forced him to wait out the end of his recording contract. He turned to producing records for Skyhooks on Mushroom Records and Company Caine on his own label Oz Records. When his contractual obligations ended, Wilson also scored Chris Löfvén's 1976 film, Oz, inspired by The Wizard of Oz but set in Australia. Wilson performed "Livin' in the Land of Oz" (also released as a single), "The Mood", "Greaseball", "Who's Gonna Love You Tonight" and "Atmospherics", with fellow ex-Daddy Cool members Gary Young and Wayne Burt; he produced the soundtrack which also featured the film's stars Joy Dunstan and Graham Matters singing a track each and two tracks by Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons. Jo Jo Zep, containing Young and Burt, were also signed to Oz Records and released the single "Beating Around the Bush" from the soundtrack.

To promote his single, Wilson formed Mondo Rock: "My longest lasting project, Mondo Rock (76–90) started as an occasional thing to help promote my 1st solo single 'Living in the Land of Oz' & it wasn't until 1978 that we issued our debut single"

Mondo Rock went through several incarnations but the best known line-up included bassist Paul Christie (ex-Kevin Borich Express, later in The Party Boys), guitarist and songwriter Eric McCusker, (ex-The Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band), drummer John Hackett (ex-Stars) and James Black on keyboards and guitar. Wilson also produced the band's first single in 1978 "The Fugitive Kind" and first album, 1979's Primal Park for his own Oz Records label. Greatest singles success was with 1980's "State of the Heart", 1981's "Chemistry" and "Cool World" all from their award-winning second album Chemistry released in 1981 on Avenue Records. 1980s teen-idol Rick Springfield recorded "State of the Heart" in 1985, making the U.S. Top 40. McCusker had written "State of the Heart", co-written "Chemistry" with Christie, and Wilson had written "Cool World". Mondo Rock released Nuovo Mondo in 1982 which included their track "A Touch of Paradise" written by Wilson and Gulliver Smith (aka Kevin Smith, ex-Company Caine). This became a 1986 hit when covered by Australian pop singer John Farnham (ex-Little River Band).

In 1983, Wilson's then wife Pat recorded and released, "Bop Girl" a song written by Ross. The song featured Ross on backing vocals, and became an Australian No. 2 hit and even gained recognition internationally. It also had a video directed by Gillian Armstrong, which featured not only Ross, but the actual screen debut of Nicole Kidman.

Mondo Rock released further albums including The Modern Bop in 1984, which had their best charting single "Come Said the Boy" (#2 on National singles chart) and "The Modern Bop"; and Boom Baby Boom in 1986, Aliens (EP) in 1987 and Why Fight It? in 1990. The later albums and singles had little chart success. Wilson's most successful solo release was 1989's "Bed of Nails" which reached No. 25 on the National singles charts. It was released from his July 1989 solo album Dark Side of the Man on WEA.

1990s and beyond
Wilson returned to performing in the late 1990s and he has released two albums of new material plus a two-CD retrospective covering his entire career, including many rare tracks. He has also collaborated with children's group The Wiggles, singing on their re-recording of "Eagle Rock" and playing the part of "King Mondo" in the video "Space Dancing". Wilson also appeared as "King Mondo" on the 2004 video "Santa's Rockin'!" singing This Little Baby Is Born Again.

In 1996 Wilson was part of the pre-game entertainment at the ARL Grand Final at the Sydney Football Stadium, with other famous Australian music acts, The Del Tones, Glenn Shorrock, Christine Anu and Kate Ceberano. Wilson sang "Eagle Rock", which was later adopted by the winners of the Grand Final, the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, as their team anthem. At the Gimme Ted benefit concert on 9 March 2001 Wilson performed four songs.

Ross Wilson has appeared as a judge on the Seven Network celebrity reality singing competition It Takes Two in both 2006 and 2007 series, and was featured in the ABC interview series Talking Heads with Peter Thompson on 9 July 2007.

In August 2009, Wilson celebrated 45 years in music with the commemorative "5 Decades of Cool" concert at the Palais Theatre, St Kilda, Melbourne.

Wilson made a celebrity guest appearance on Neighbours in 2018.

On 9 June 2023, Wilson released the 4-track She's Stuck On Facebook All the Time EP, the first new music in 13 years.

Personal life
Wilson has a brother, Bruce Wilson, who designed the logo for the Mojo Label under which The Pink Finks released "Louie Louie", Bruce also designed the logo for The Party Machine, and printed their "obscene and seditious" songbook. Ross Wilson's first wife, Pat Wilson, was a journalist and, briefly, a pop star with "Bop Girl" (written by Ross) in 1983 and reached No. 2. On the promo video for "Eagle Rock" a pregnant Pat Wilson is in the front row of the concert footage. They were married for twenty years, from 1969 to about 1989. He married his second wife, Tania Gogos, in 1999. They have two children.

That said, I do think Starmen.Net is notable in that the fanbase it represents is much more fanatical, and probably more wide, than can be said for most other games of the popularity of EarthBound. The Mother 3 petition is particularly notable as has been noted on a previous VfD attempt that is listed on the talk page. sm.net has been mentioned in several magazines (which the site has its own page about), which probably cannot be said for any other fansite about a game with the same popularity level as EarthBound (were it not for this fanatical fanbase, the game may well have been regarded as a failure). I think sm.net is notable when attributes such as these are taken into consideration. - furrykef (Talk at me) 14:28, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, and shame on people who insist on Alexa rankings for notability. A site doesn't have to be popular to be notable, though it helps. - furrykef (Talk at me) 14:31, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Besides, haven't we already gone through this? It's almost as if someone is out to get this page deleted... --SMWhat 18:09, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Shalimar Gardens, Lahore

Spelling
What's this "Shalamar" misspelling? It's always "Shalimar" in English. --Wetman 14:58, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * What's with your hostile attitude? Take a chill pill. Shalamar is how the signs posted at the actual site refer to the gardens. When you enter the garden, a UNESCO World heritage sign reads Shalamar & not Shalimar gardens. Although, I don't understand what's the big fuss about it, anyway? Who the bloody hell cares if there's an i or an a in Shalamar? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.251.135.126 (talk) 22:30, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Meaning of the Name
It would be nice if someone could add the meaning of the name without getting side-tracked into arguments! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.216.11.5 (talk) 20:27, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

3 Shalimars?
A contributor to Kashmir is claiming there are 3 Shalimar Gardens. According to him, the Shalimar mentioned in the Kashmir article is not the Shalimar at Lahore.--AI 10:18, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

NPOV, writing style
"In all these pictures below, not a single fountain can be seen running because the water supply lines to the garden were deliberately broken in 1999, merely to widen a road close to the garden."

I am changing this line partly because it is a POV and partly because it is non-encyclopaedic in its writing style. (some time later...) ... and I am going to tidy up the whole thing because the language is generally clunky. Polocrunch 14:24, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Aerial Photograph
It would be sweet if someone could upload a free aerial photograph of the garden to give some understanding of the scope of how big'n'beautiful this wonderful ancient site really is. Anyone?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.251.135.126 (talk) 23:54, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Hôtel des Mille Collines

The Hôtel des Mille Collines (English: Hotel of the Thousand Hills) is a large hotel in Kigali, Rwanda. It became famous after 1,268 people took refuge inside the building during the Rwandan genocide of 1994. The story of the hotel and its manager at that time, Paul Rusesabagina, was later used as the basis of Terry George's film Hotel Rwanda in 2004.

History
The Belgian airline Sabena built the Hôtel des Mille Collines in 1973 and owned it during the Rwandan Genocide.

The four-star hotel has 112 rooms, a bar, a café, three conference rooms, a restaurant, a swimming pool, and tennis courts.

On August 10, 2005, Sabena Hotels sold the Hotel des Mille Collines to MIKCOR Hotel Holding for US$3.2million (about RWF 1.8 billion). Miko Rwayitare, the managing director of the MIKCOR group, said during the handover held at the hotel on Thursday 16, that the group now owns 89% of the hotel with 8.5% and 2.5% owned by Rwanda Development Bank (BRD) and the government of Rwanda, respectively. Rwayitare is also the executive chairman of Telecel International, a communications company. In April 2014, Mickor Investment Holdings Ltd turned management of the hotel over to Kempinski Hotels and it was renamed the Hôtel des Mille Collines by Kempinski. The hotel left the Kempinski chain two years later, on April 1, 2016, and returned to its original name.

In popular culture
The hotel is the setting for the film Hotel Rwanda, but it does not actually appear in the movie, which was largely shot in South Africa. The hotel does however appear in the 2005 HBO film Sometimes in April and the 2007 Canadian film Shake Hands with the Devil, which were shot on location in Rwanda.
