NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC

NBA Showtime is a basketball arcade game released by Midway in 1999, featuring teams and players from the National Basketball Association (NBA). The game is modeled after the NBA presentations on NBC and takes its name from NBC's NBA pregame show. It is the successor to Midway's previous basketball titles NBA Hangtime and NBA Jam and is the first in the series to have fully 3-D polygonal graphics, featuring real uniforms for all teams. Showtime was also featured in a dual game cabinet along with NFL Blitz 2000 that Midway dubbed the "SportStation." Midway followed up the game with the console exclusive NBA Hoopz.

Gameplay
The game features gameplay similar to its predecessors NBA Jam and NBA Hangtime. Rather than typical 5 on 5 action, this game features 2 on 2 play with the ability to pick two players from any NBA team's starting line-up for the first half and can choose again for the second. The game introduces personal fouls for each shove on another player; after a certain number of fouls the opposing team gets a free throw. The game retains the series standard "on fire" feature. After a player makes three consecutive shots he becomes "on fire", which allows him to easily make shots from almost anywhere, as well as goaltend without penalty and push opponents without being charged a foul. Play otherwise is similar to NBA rules. The arcade version accommodates up to four players, as do the home versions produced for the Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast.

The players featured in the game include many of the most popular players of the particular year and era of the NBA season, but like the previous games in the arcade-style basketball series, many players were left out and each team has a limited number of players per position to choose from.

Development
Midway first hinted at the development of Showtime in the end credits to its previous basketball title, Maximum Hangtime, promising the next entry in the series would have a new "third dimension."

The announcer from NBA Jam, Tim Kitzrow, returned, after Midway used the Bulls radio announcer Neil Funk in NBA Hangtime. Jon Hey produced all the sound, music and script save for the NBC basketball theme "Roundball Rock" by John Tesh. At the time, the music was influenced by 2Pac and Dr. Dre's "California Love" and Master P's "Make 'Em Say Uhh!" and previous NBA Themes written by Jon Hey for NBA Jam and NBA Hangtime.

As with the previous NBA Jam and NBA Hangtime games, the game contains many secret characters, including members of the Midway staff. The arcade version features the Universal Monsters Frankenstein's monster, Bride of Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Wolf Man and Creature from the Black Lagoon. The Universal Monsters characters remained exclusive to the arcade version and were not available in any of the game's various home versions.

The original arcade version shipped with team rosters from the beginning of the 1998–99 NBA season. After the release of the console versions, the game featured team rosters from prior to the 1999–2000 NBA season, then Midway released a "Gold" update for arcades with rosters from midway through the 1999-2000 NBA season, shortly before the midseason trading deadline.

Reception
The Dreamcast version received "favorable" reviews, and the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation versions received mixed or average reviews, while the Game Boy Color version received "unfavorable" reviews according to video game review aggregator GameRankings. Doug Trueman of NextGen said that the N64 version "would probably best be called NBA Jam 64", calling it "Arcade-style basketball action captured remarkably well on Nintendo 64."

Michael W. McConnell

Michael William McConnell (born May 18, 1955) is an American jurist who served as a United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit from 2002 to 2009. Since 2009, McConnell has been a professor and Director of the Stanford Constitutional Law Center at Stanford Law School. He is also a senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, and Senior Of Counsel to the Litigation Practice Group at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. In May 2020, Facebook appointed him to its content oversight board. In 2020, McConnell published The President Who Would Not Be King: Executive Power under the Constitution under Princeton University Press.

Biography
McConnell graduated from Michigan State University's James Madison College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1976. He received his Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the University of Chicago Law School in 1979, where he was an editor of the University of Chicago Law Review.

After law school, McConnell was a law clerk for Judge J. Skelly Wright of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 1979 to 1980 and for U.S. Supreme Court justice William J. Brennan Jr., from 1980 to 1981. He was an assistant general counsel at the Office of Management and Budget from 1981 to 1983 and an assistant to the Solicitor General from 1983 to 1985. From 1985 to 1996 McConnell was a professor at the University of Chicago Law School, where he brought Barack Obama on a fellowship after being impressed with a suggestion Obama, the Harvard Law Review president, had made about one of McConnell's articles. He has been a professor at the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law and a visiting professor at Harvard Law School and the New York University School of Law.

Scholarship
As a law professor, McConnell has published a variety of legal articles and edited several books. As a lawyer, he has argued cases in federal courts of appeals and before the Supreme Court, including a 5–4 victory in Rosenberger v. University of Virginia. He is widely regarded as one of the preeminent constitutional law scholars on the Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses.

In 1996, McConnell signed a statement supporting a constitutional amendment to ban abortion, which read, "Abortion kills 1.5 million innocent human beings in America every year. ... We believe that the abortion license is a critical factor in America's virtue deficit."

As a respected constitutional scholar during his law school tenure, McConnell contended that originalism is consistent with the Supreme Court's 1954 desegregation decision Brown v. Board of Education, as opposed to critics of originalism who argue that they are inconsistent. He has likewise argued that the Court's decision in Bolling v. Sharpe was correct but should have been reached on other grounds, as Congress never "required that the schools of the District of Columbia be segregated."

McConnell was highly critical of the Supreme Court's decision in Bush v. Gore:

I imagine that Gov. Bush and his supporters will put on a brave face and defend this decision, but I cannot imagine that there is much joy in Austin tonight. The Supreme Court, with all the prestige of its position in American public life, could have brought closure to this matter. But instead, by straddling the fence, the court has produced a combination of holdings that can please no one. McConnell expressed skepticism on First Amendment grounds about restrictions on religious exercise imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2021, McConnell's argument that Trump could be tried by the Senate after he left office because the second impeachment occurred while he was in office was frequently cited in Senate debates and in the media.

Federal judicial service
On September 4, 2001, President George W. Bush nominated McConnell to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. The United States Senate confirmed him unanimously on November 15, 2002, by voice vote. He received his commission on November 26, 2002. He resigned from the bench on August 31, 2009.

Notable cases
While on the Tenth Circuit, McConnell wrote scores of judicial opinions. The Supreme Court reviewed four cases in which McConnell wrote an opinion; in each case, the Court reached the same result as McConnell. First, in Gonzales v. O Centro Espirita Beneficente Uniao do Vegetal (2006), a case involving the religious use of a hallucinogenic tea, the Supreme Court affirmed 8–0 a Tenth Circuit en banc decision to which Judge McConnell wrote a concurring opinion. Second, in Fernandez-Vargas v. Gonzales (2008), a case involving the retroactive application of a statutory provision limiting appeals from immigration removal orders, the Supreme Court affirmed 8–1 a Tenth Circuit panel decision written by Judge McConnell. Third, in Begay v. United States (2008), a case about whether a felony conviction for driving under the influence is a crime of violence for purposes of the Armed Career Criminal Act, the Supreme Court reversed 6–3 a Tenth Circuit panel decision from which McConnell dissented. Fourth, in Pleasant Grove City v. Summum (2009), a case involving whether the presence of a Ten Commandments monument on government property gave another religion a First Amendment right to place its own monument on the same property, the Supreme Court unanimously reversed a Tenth Circuit panel decision that McConnell had challenged by writing a dissent from the denial of rehearing en banc.

Significant opinions by McConnell include:
 * Christian Heritage Academy v. Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association, 483 F.3d 1025, 1037 (2007) (concurring and dissenting). Equal Protection Clause.
 * United States v. Pruitt (2007) (concurring). Criminal sentencing.
 * United States v. Allen (2007). Criminal sentencing. The case was covered by How Appealing and Decision of the Day.
 * United States v. Medley (2007) (concurring). Criminal sentencing.
 * Shrum v. City of Coweta, Oklahoma, 449 F.3d 1132 (2007). Free Exercise Clause.
 * O Centro Espirita Beneficiente Uniao do Vegetal v. Ashcroft, 389 F.3d 973 (2004) (en banc) (McConnell, J., concurring), affirmed by Gonzales v. O Centro Espirita Beneficente Uniao do Vegetal, 546 U.S. 418 (2006). Free Exercise Clause; Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
 * Geddes v. United Staffing Alliance Employee Medical Plan (2006).
 * United States v. Patton (2006). Commerce Clause. Writing for the court, McConnell upheld a federal statute prohibiting the possession of body armor by felons. Even though the statute, as applied to Patton's intrastate and noncommercial possession of body armor, could not be sustained under any of the three Lopez categories the Supreme Court established, it fell within the Commerce Clause under another line of Supreme Court precedent (Scarborough) and noted the tension between the two sets of precedents. The court also rejected Patton's due process and necessity claims. The case was covered by Decision of the Day and The Volokh Conspiracy and was the subject of a constitutional law final exam at Cornell.
 * Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. BCI Coca-Cola.
 * Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance v. Bureau of Land Management (2006).

Supreme Court speculation
McConnell was mentioned as a potential nominee to the Supreme Court during the Bush administration. In June 2005, amid expectations that Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist would retire at the end of the Court's term, some sources cited McConnell as a frontrunner for Rehnquist's seat, which ultimately went to John Roberts. Professor Stephen B. Presser of Northwestern University School of Law argued that McConnell was "high on the White House's short list" because:

 * [McConnell] does believe that the Supreme Court has gone too far in reading the total separation of church and state into the Constitution, and because he ... understands that Roe v. Wade has no firm constitutional foundation. He might be acceptable to the left not only because so many liberal professors support him, but also because he has been public in his criticism of Bush v. Gore and the impeachment of President Clinton.

McConnell was also mentioned as a possible Supreme Court nominee in a John McCain or Mitt Romney presidency.

Testimony on constitutional term limits for Supreme Court justices
On June 30, 2021, McConnell provided testimony to the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States on the dangers of increasing the Court's size. He proposed a constitutional amendment to address such dangers, including an 18-year term limit on justices and appointment of a justice in each odd year, unless the Senate voted against the appointment.

Highlights of his testimony include: "Any attempt to increase the size of the Court would be widely, and correctly, be regarded as a partisan interference with the independence of the Court.... It is no exaggeration to say that this would destroy one of the central features of our constitutional system, the independent judiciary."

"This [McConnell’s] proposal, if adopted, would have several salutary effects. It would make the power of the president to name Supreme Court justices regular, fair, and consistent, and thus likely would lower the political stakes of each nomination. The political balance of the Court would reflect the opinions of the people over time as expressed in their choice of presidents and senators, rather than the happenstance of health or accident or the strategic timing of the justices."

European route E5

The European route E5 is part of the United Nations international E-road network. It is the westernmost north–south "reference road", running from Greenock in Scotland, south through Great Britain and France to Algeciras, Spain. The route is 1900 mi long.

The E5 follows the route Greenock – Glasgow – Gretna – Carlisle – Penrith – Preston – Warrington – Birmingham – Oxford – Newbury – Southampton ... Le Havre – Paris – Orléans – Tours – Poitiers – Bordeaux – San Sebastián – Burgos – Madrid – Córdoba – Seville – Cádiz – Algeciras.

United Kingdom

Although the United Kingdom Government participates fully in activities concerning the E-routes, E-routes are not signposted within the United Kingdom. Hence the first 724 km of the route is not signed.

The E5 has a gap at the English Channel between Southampton and Le Havre, France. There is no direct ferry link, but a ferry from nearby Portsmouth, along the M27, connects to Le Havre.

France
The E5 arrives from the non-existing ferry from Southampton in Le Havre. It passes the capital Paris, before continuing southwest to Orléans, Tours and Bordeaux. It ends at the border town of Hendaye with Spain. It covers a distance of 985 km (612 mi).

Spain
The E5 crosses the French border at Irun, it passes the major cities of San Sebastián, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Burgos before it arrives at the nation's capital Madrid. It continues south of Madrid towards Andalusia, passing Córdoba, Seville, Jerez de la Frontera and Cádiz to end at the port city of Algeciras.

Maison de Radio-Canada

Maison de Radio-Canada (English: CBC House), located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, is the broadcast headquarters, studios and master control for all French-language radio and television services of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (known in French as Société Radio-Canada/SRC) including its flagship station CBFT-DT. It is also the main studio for Montreal's local English-language CBC services (CBMT-DT, CBME-FM, and CBM-FM) and the headquarters of Radio Canada International, the CBC's digital international broadcasting service.

The street address of Maison de Radio-Canada is 1400 René Lévesque Boulevard East, named for former premier René Lévesque who was once a reporter and commentator for the CBC. The building is situated near the studios of CTV (CFCF-DT), Noovo (CFJP-DT), RDS, RDS Info, MétéoMédia, LCN, and TVA (CFTM-DT) which are at the intersection of Papineau Avenue.

The analogous facility for the CBC's English-language networks is the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto. The CBC's corporate headquarters for both languages are in Ottawa at the CBC Ottawa Broadcast Centre.

Geography
The building is accessible within walking distance east of Beaudry station of the Montreal Metro.

For the building itself to be built, most of the Faubourg à m'lasse working-class neighbourhood had to be demolished. On October 1, 1963, the last house was evacuated so the demolition project could go ahead to clear land for the facility.

Redevelopment
As of November 2008, consultations are underway to redevelop the area around Maison de Radio-Canada. The new plans for the eastern part of the present site includes 2000 housing units, offices, commercial space, and public spaces at 1450 René Lévesque Boulevard East, which will cover about three city blocks. Furthermore, the new development would relink the street grid through the site, following the 1960s razing of a working-class neighbourhood popularly known as Faubourg à m'lasse to make way for the Radio-Canada complex.

As of May 2015, the project was halted. The project was relaunched in November 2016, with Broccolini Group selected to construct the new building and Groupe Mach chosen to take over the existing building and reconvert it to new uses. The project finally reached completion in 2020.

RF switch

An RF switch or microwave switch is a device to route high frequency signals through transmission paths. RF (radio frequency) and microwave switches are used extensively in microwave test systems for signal routing between instruments and devices under test (DUT). Incorporating a switch into a switch matrix system enables you to route signals from multiple instruments to single or multiple DUTs. This allows multiple tests to be performed with the same setup, eliminating the need for frequent connects and disconnects. The entire testing process can be automated, increasing the throughput in high-volume production environments.

Like other electrical switches, RF and microwave switches provide different configurations for many different applications. Below is a list of typical switch configurations and usage:

 * Single pole, double throw (SPDT or 1:2) switches route signals from one input to two output paths.
 * Multiport switches or single pole, multiple throw (SPnT) switches allow a single input to multiple (three or more) output paths.
 * Transfer switches or double pole, double throw (DPDT) switches can serve various purposes.
 * Bypass switches insert or remove a test component from a signal path.

RF CMOS switches are crucial to modern wireless telecommunication, including wireless networks and mobile communication devices. Infineon's bulk CMOS RF switches sell over 1billion units annually, reaching a cumulative 5billion units,.

Technologies
The two main kinds of RF and microwave switches have different capabilities:

 * Electromechanical switches are based on the simple theory of electromagnetic induction. They rely on mechanical contacts as their switching mechanism.

 * A solid state switch is an electronic switching device based on semiconductor technology (e.g. MOSFET, PIN diode). It functions similarly to an electromechanical switch except that it has no moving parts. Agilent SS Switch Family.jpg

Frequency range
RF and microwave applications range in frequency from 100 MHz for semiconductor to 60 GHz for satellite communications. Broadband accessories increase test system flexibility by extending frequency coverage. However, frequency is always application dependent and a broad operating frequency may be sacrificed to meet other critical parameters. For example, a network analyzer may perform a 1 ms sweep for an insertion loss measurement, so for this application settling time or switching speed becomes the critical parameter for ensuring measurement accuracy.

Insertion loss
In addition to proper frequency selection, insertion loss is critical to testing. Losses greater than 1 or 2 dB will attenuate peak signal levels and increase rising and falling edge times. A low insertion loss system can be achieved by minimizing the number of connectors and through-paths, or by selecting low insertion loss devices for system configuration. As power is expensive at higher frequencies, electromechanical switches provide the lowest possible loss along the transmission path.

Return loss
Return loss is caused by impedance mismatch between circuits. At microwave frequencies, the material properties as well as the dimensions of a network element play a significant role in determining the impedance match or mismatch caused by the distributed effect. Switches with excellent return loss performance ensure optimum power transfer through the switch and the entire network.

Repeatability
Low insertion loss repeatability reduces sources of random errors in the measurement path, which improves measurement accuracy. The repeatability and reliability of a switch guarantees measurement accuracy and can cut the cost of ownership by reducing calibration cycles and increasing test system uptime.

Isolation
Isolation is the degree of attenuation from an unwanted signal detected at the port of interest. Isolation becomes more important at higher frequencies. High isolation reduces the influence of signals from other channels, sustains the integrity of the measured signal, and reduces system measurement uncertainties. For instance, an RF switch matrix may need to route a signal to a spectrum analyzer for measurement at –70 dBm and to simultaneously route another signal at +20 dBm. In this case, switches with high isolation, 90 dB or more, will keep the measurement integrity of the low-power signal.

Switching speed
Switching speed is defined as the time needed to change the state of a switch port (arm) from "ON' to "OFF" or from "OFF" to "ON".

Settling time
As switching time only specifies an end value of 90% of the settled/final value of the RF signal, settling time is often highlighted in solid state switch performance where the need for accuracy and precision is more critical. Settling time is measured to a level closer to the final value. The widely used margin-to-final value of settling time is 0.01 dB (99.77% of the final value) and 0.05 dB (98.86% of the final value). This specification is commonly used for GaAs FET switches because they have a gate lag effect caused by electrons becoming trapped on the surface of the GaAs.

Power handling
Power handling defines the ability of a switch to handle power and is very dependent on the design and materials used. There are different power handling ratings for switches such as hot switching, cold switching, average power and peak power. Hot switching occurs when RF/microwave power is present at the ports of the switching at the time of the switching. Cold switching occurs when the signal power is removed before switching. Cold switching results in lower contact stress and longer life.

Termination
A 50-ohm load termination is critical in many applications, since each open unused transmission line has the possibility to resonate. This is important when designing a system that works up to 26 GHz or higher frequencies where switch isolation drops considerably. When the switch is connected to an active device, the reflected power of an unterminated path could possibly damage the source.

 * Electromechanical switches are categorized as terminated or unterminated. Terminated switches: when a selected path is closed, all other paths are terminated with 50 ohm loads, and the current to all the solenoids is cut off. Unterminated switches reflect power.

 * Solid state switches are categorized as absorptive or reflective. Absorptive switches incorporate a 50 ohm termination in each of the output ports to present a low VSWR in both the OFF and ON states. Reflective switches conduct RF power when the diode is reverse biased and reflect RF power when forward biased.

Video leakage
Video leakage refers to the spurious signals present at the RF ports of the switch when it is switched without an RF signal present. These signals arise from the waveforms generated by the switch driver and, in particular, from the leading edge voltage spike required for high-speed switching of PIN diodes. The amplitude of the video leakage depends on the design of the switch and the switch driver.

Operating life
A long operating life reduces cost per cycle and budgetary constraints allowing manufacturers to be more competitive.

I'll be editing the Saharan Rock Art wiki page in effort to improve the quality of the page and add useful information that relates to the topic. The existing page has a brief summary stating that the Sahara has a lot of rock art and that there are more than three thousand rock art sites. It then lists names of popular rock art sites, and goes into detail describing the importance of Tassili n'Ajjer. The author then has a list of subtopics under Prehistoric Sahara with no description, therefore I'm not sure what purpose they hold in the article. There's a paragraph describing the Saharan Archaeological Research Association (SARA) and how the Sahara has a very unpredictable climate and how the climate there has dramatically changed over time. The article also includes dates of when Saharan rock art was created. The main issue with this article is that the author did not cite any of their information. My improvements to the article will include citations, as well as more detailed information from them. I will expand the introduction and go into more depth about how Saharan rock art has taught people about the culture of the civilizations and groups that created them. Describing the importance will intrigue readers, I will then elaborate on the culture aspect later on in the article. I will add a section describing the archaeology that is involved in the rock art, how it was discovered and how it is important to the archaeological record. I think adding a section describing the peoples of the time as well as the impact it's had on our learning of them will be helpful to readers. As for editing the list of sites, I'll leave the list, but go into more detail about the popular ones such as how the previous author did for Tassili n'Ajjer.

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. I already spend some time patrolling Recentchanges, so having the tools to deal with vandalism would be great. I would also help out with VfD.  Also, if I noticed things that really needed to get done, I'd step in and help.

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I am most pleased with being able to turn turn Canadian Pacific Railway into a featured article and seeing it on the Main Page on April 23.

 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and will deal with it in the future?
 * A. Nothing more significant than some editing disputes, although I do get somewhat stressed about those. I have generally found that I achieve good results by assuming that the other person is also acting in what they believe to be for the good of the article, and discussing on talk instead of unilaterally reverting.

Paharganj

Paharganj (literally 'hilly neighbourhood') is a neighbourhood of Central Delhi, located just west of the New Delhi Railway Station. Known as Shahganj or King's ganj or market place during Mughal era, it is one of the three administrative subdivisions, of the Central Delhi district, of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, with the other two being, Darya Ganj and Karol Bagh.

Known for its concentration of affordable hotels, lodges, restaurants, dhabas and a wide variety of shops catering to both domestic travellers and foreign tourists, especially backpackers and low-budget travellers, it has become particularly popular as a haunt for international cuisine. However, Paharganj has a poor record regarding safety of women since the area is noted for its scams, drug peddling, sexual assaults. Instead, the more modern South Delhi is now becoming the main center for backpackers.

Mughal era
In the years after its establishment in 1638, Shahjahanabad, the capital of the Mughal Empire under Shah Jahan, was no longer contained within the walled city, it soon spilled into surrounding areas, stretching into miles at each end, where half of its population stayed. By 1739, the suburbs covered 1800 acres and included areas like Mughalpura, Sabzimandi, Paharganj, and Jaisingh Pura. One of the largest and most important suburban mohalla of the Walled City of Delhi, and located just outside the Ajmeri Gate of the Walled city, Paharganj was one of five main markets of Delhi, and the only one outside the walled city. Also, it was the principal grain market of the city in the 18th century, where grain was ferried, across Yamuna River, from wholesale markets and warehouses in Patparganj and Shahdara. Just outside the Ajmeri Gate was the custom house of the emperor, for collecting taxes. Between Paharganj and Akbarabadi gate of the walled city was Shahganj, another wholesale market, while on the other side towards Jantar Mantar was Raja Bazar. In fact, Paharganj was also referred as Shahganj or King's ganj or market place during Mughal era, it gets its present name 'Paharganj', literally meaning Hilly neighbourhood, owing to its proximity to the Raisina Hill, where the Rashtrapati Bhavan stand today. Till 1857, neighbourhoods like Paharganj, Kishenganj, and Pahari Dhiraj, were separate pockets which in the following years grew and merged, for example Pahari Dhiraj merged into Sadar Bazaar.

In the 1690s, Ghaziuddin Khan, a general of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, a leading Deccan commander and the father of Asaf Jah I, the founder of the Asaf Jahi dynasty of Hyderabad, through religious endowment founded a madarsa, Madrasa Ghaziuddin Khan after him. It eventually paved way for the present Zakir Hussain College, which in 1986, shifted to a new building outside Turkman Gate, the old structure in the Madrasa Ghaziuddin complex, still houses a hostel for the college and Ghaziuddin's mausoleum. Also Anglo Arabic Senior Secondary School operates at the same place.

British era
When the Lutyens' Delhi was being built in the 1920s, the area also saw major development, and the old 'Imperial theatre', built-in 1930, stands as a legacy to that era. Though its neighboring area of Jaisinghpura, where Gurudwara Bangla Sahib stands today, along with Madhoganj and Raja ka Bazaar were demolished to make way for the Connaught Place, shopping district. Indeed, the "Delhi Town Planning Committee on the planning of new Imperial capital" with George Swinton as chairman and John A. Brodie and Lutyens as members, submitted its report on 13 June 1912, it proposed a plan to include Paharganj and Sadar Bazaar into the developing new imperial city, as they were only areas of Old Delhi, spilling into the planned New Delhi area. However, it was rejected by the Viceroy, when the cost of compensation while acquiring the properties, was found to be too high. The central axis of New Delhi, which today faces east at India Gate, was previously meant to be a north–south axis, linking Viceroy's House with Paharganj, as the end of the axis. Gradually, Chai-Tuti-Chowk or Six Tuti Chowk, named after six water taps originally place here for the public, developed as an important market square, and a shopping area of Paharganj, within shops of cloth merchants coming up around it. Prior to the inauguration of New Delhi in 1931, the New Delhi Railway Station was opened with a single platform near Ajmeri Gate in 1926, until then the Old Delhi Railway Station served the entire city. This changed Paharganj landscape indelibly, with an influx of travelers, small eateries started coming up in the area, and also temporary residential facilities.

The famous Shri Nand Lal Sharma dhaba was set up here in 1928, over time, his son built a three-storey hotel on spot, and now his grandson manages the Metropolis, known for its rooftop restaurant, which still has many Russian dishes on its menu. "Shiela Cinema" at Paharganj was Delhi's first 70mm screen, second being "Odeon" in Connaught Place. "Imperial" and "Khanna" were other talkies in the area. Gradually, the entire area was catering to the tourism industry, though the grain bazaars of Mughal era were long gone, in early 20th century, Paharganj still had principal markets in Delhi for building materials, cement, timber and steel, but by 1947 they had mostly shifted to other locations in the city, while Paharganj had become primarily a densely populated residential and commercial area, replete with cheap hotels and restaurants for domestic and foreign tourists.

Paharganj witnessed upheavals during the prolonged Indian independence struggle, like during the Quit India Movement of August 1942, the British barracks near Paharganj were attacked and the soldiers' were thrown out, who then sought refuge in an Indian's bungalow, later the Paharganj Post office and five terminal tax posts were also raided by the mob and burnt down.

Hindu Jat and Muslim riots of 1924
During the British Raj, Muslims had built a slaughterhouse closer to the Jhandewalan temple. In May 1924 on the day of Bakri Eid the Muslims of Pahari Dhiraj of Paharganj slaughtered the cow – which is revered by the Hindus as sacred Kamadhenu – in the slaughterhouse closer to the Jhandewala temple. This angered the Hindu Jats of Sadar Bazaar, which led to the riots among the Jats and Muslims from 11 to 18 July, resulting in loss of life and property. Muhammad Ali Jinnah repeatedly requested Mahatma Gandhi and Indian National Congress (INC) to stop the rioting Jats, but Gandhi and INC were unable to control the situation. Riots were eventually stopped by the police.

Post-independence
Subsequently, during the Partition of India in 1947 it again saw extensive rioting, thereafter the area saw a vast influx of Hindu refugees from Pakistan, when several shops and small establishments were allotted to them, since then the area has seen vast development, and seen it the burgeoning marketplace that it is today.

With the arrival of the Hippie movement in the 70s at India's shores, the area became a regular part of the Hippie trail, for hippies, backpackers, and college students looking for budget accommodations near Connaught Place, New Delhi and New Delhi Railway Station. Gradually the hotels and guest houses spread until neighboring Ram Nagar and an area along Deshbandhu Gupta Road. This legacy which continues even today, with its streams of budget hotels, cafes and restaurants, specializing in global cuisines, and hordes of cybercafes. Apart from that Paharganj also has a Chabad House as it is frequented by the large number of Jewish and Israeli tourists, and bakeries like 'German Bakery', named 'Ajay Cafe' 19 years ago.

The area is known for its concentration of affordable hotels, lodges, restaurants, dhabas and a wide variety of shops catering to both domestic travellers and foreign tourists, especially backpackers and low-budget travellers, it has become particularly popular as a haunt for international cuisine. Over the years, Paharganj has become the biggest hotel hub for low-budget foreign tourists in Delhi, though with rising congestion, the proliferation of illegal bars and illegal activities like drug peddling, Paharganj has also become a hotspot for crime, and a criminal hideout. The area has shelters and homes, run by Salaam Baalak Trust, an NGO, for street and working children, established in 1988. The trust has run the Salaam Baalak City Walk - New Delhi, a guided tour through Paharganj and New Delhi Railway Station area. The guides are former street children from the trust. The walk aims to sensitize about street life, street children and Indian society problems. During the walk, the guides share their personal story of survival with the participants and show them the contact points and shelter homes SBT provides.

In 2005, during 29 October 2005 Delhi serial bombings, the first blast took place in the main bazaar of Paharganj, during busy shopping period, two days before festival of Diwali.

Ahead of the 2010 Commonwealth Games, a massive Rs. 800 million ($17 million) facelift program for Paharganj was implemented by Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) in 2009, it included 56 roads and lanes in Paharganj, where over 500 hotels and lodges were expecting to host visitors for the games. Some shops were demolished in areas like Main Bazar, Ram Nagar market and Amrit Kaur market, markets were given uniform design, all road was relaid, sidewalks and pavements were also added, to decongest the area by September 2010.

Historic monuments
Paharganj is also home to the historic Qadam Sharif dargah, dedicated to the footprint of Muhammaf, originally built by Firuz Shah Tughlaq, a 14th-century Sultan of Delhi. Qazi Wali Masjid, known for its intricate engravings, and arched doorways. The grave of poet laureate of Mughal court, Zauq, who lived nearby Nabi Karim and died in 1854, lies in the bylanes of Paharganj. It was restored in early 2000s, after the Supreme Court orders, but his house was never identified.

Administration and politics
Today Sadar-Paharganj constitutes one of the 12 administrative zones of Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

Paharganj was a Delhi Metropolitan Council segment, within the Chandni Chowk, Lok Sabha constituency, 1966–93. Thereafter it remained the Delhi State Assembly constituency, under Chandni Chowk, Lok Sabha constituency, from 1993 to 2008, Subsequently, following the delimitation of the parliamentary constituencies, in 2008, it became of the New Delhi Lok Sabha constituency.

Tourism
Paharganj has known for its affordable hotels, lodges, and a wide variety of shops  especially among backpackers  starting from the 1970s. Now newer part of the city, particularly South Delhi is gaining gradual popularity among backpackers.

In popular culture
The tourist culture of Paharganj has been a theme for many films, including Kate Winslet starrer, Holy Smoke! (1999), parts of which were shot when she stayed at a Paharganj hotel, in September 1998. In 2008, parts of the Hindi film, Dev.D (2009) directed by Anurag Kashyap were shot in Paharganj area, depicting the seedy side of hotel industry, from prostitution to drug peddling.

The Bart of War

"The Bart of War" is the twenty-first and penultimate episode of the fourteenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on May 18, 2003. In the episode, Bart and Milhouse badly damage Ned Flanders' collection of Beatles memorabilia. Under adult supervision, they are then placed in separate youth groups, but the groups go to war.

Plot
Marge disapproves of Bart and Milhouse watching South Park, so she unsuccessfully tries to get them to watch Good Heavens on PAX. The boys soon find themselves outside the house and bored, and decide to tie a thread to a fly. When the fly enters the Flanders house and is eaten by a cat, Bart and Milhouse find themselves inside the home, unsupervised. They take the opportunity to cause mischief, and discover Ned's collection of Beatles memorabilia in the basement. They drink from cans of a 40-year-old novelty beverage and start to hallucinate, with Bart seeing Milhouse as John Lennon through various stages of his life. When Ned, Rod and Todd return home and discover the damage caused by Bart and Milhouse, they flee to their panic room and call the police. Chief Wiggum and his crew subsequently catch the boys in the basement, and call their parents. They decide that Bart and Milhouse should spend all their time under parental supervision. Bart is also forbidden from playing with Milhouse, who Marge believes incites Bart into his bad behavior.

Marge subsequently establishes a peer group based on Native American life, called the "Pre-Teen Braves" — composed of Bart, Ralph Wiggum, Nelson Muntz, and Database, with herself as tribe leader after Homer fails in his leadership skills. Later, when Marge takes the boys on a nature walk, they meet a Mohican man who shows them a field that is in need of cleaning up. The Pre-Teen Braves agree to the job, but discover that it has already been cleaned by another peer group, the "Cavalry Kids" — led by Milhouse's father, Kirk Van Houten, composed of Milhouse, Martin Prince, Jimbo Jones, and a nerd named Cosine. The two groups try to outdo each other in doing good; for example, when the Cavalry Kids bulldoze the house of the homeless from the Pre-Teen Braves and post a pre-fabricated in place, the Pre-Teen Braves retaliate by setting it on fire with arrows. When the Cavalry Kids sell candy in the hope of becoming batboys at a Springfield Isotopes game, the Pre-Teen Braves try to thwart them by lacing their candy with laxatives. Unfortunately for them, the senior citizens, in need of relief from constipation, buy the Cavalry Kids a win.

At the Isotopes game, in another attempt to defeat the Cavalry Kids, Bart and Homer divert them away from the stadium with a fake "free VIP parking" sign, and the Pre-Teen Braves then disguise themselves as their enemies before singing their own version of "The Star-Spangled Banner". The crowd becomes angered by this, and when the real Cavalry Kids arrive, a fight breaks out between everyone. Marge, appalled by this, breaks down, and when this is shown on the Jumbotron, the fighting stops and the Sea Captain suggests that everyone should sing a sweet, soothing hymn like Canada's national anthem instead of a "hymn to war" like "The Star-Spangled Banner". Everyone present sings "O Canada" to Marge and joins hands to form a maple leaf on the baseball field. Bart and Milhouse then agree that war is not the answer — "except to all of America's problems."

Cultural references

 * The title is a play on Sun Tzu's The Art of War.
 * At the start of the episode, Bart and Milhouse are seen watching South Park, as a response to the episode "Simpsons Already Did It".
 * Milhouse mentions he feels like luge silver medalist Barbara Niedernhuber while riding Flanders' video cart.
 * When the police catch Bart and Milhouse, Chief Wiggum says "It looks like a bunch of kids are taking the "Last Train to Clarksville"." Officer Lou tells a disgruntled Wiggum that this is a Monkees song rather than a Beatles one.
 * Chief Wiggum questions the correct spelling of NSYNC, an American boy band.
 * The Native American refers to the book and 1992 hit movie The Last of the Mohicans.
 * While the Cavalry Kids and the Pre-Teen Braves compete, the song "One Tin Soldier" is heard in the soundtrack.
 * While the townspeople sing "O Canada", Marge is shown holding both the Canadian flag and the provincial flag of Quebec, referring to the two official languages of Canada. The Simpsons airs in Quebec, with the English voices dubbed in Québécois French.
 * Nelson thinking he is seeing his father in random things and saying "Papa?" while solemn violin music plays, is a reference to the film An American Tail.

Beatles references

 * The artifact which reads "I'm fixing a hole...in my drywall!" is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the Beatles song "Fixing A Hole".
 * The four flavors of "Beatles Soda" that Bart and Milhouse drink are "John Lemon", "Paul McIcedTea", "Orange Harrison" and "Mango Starr". The drinks that Bart and Milhouse drink are those of the two Beatles that had died.
 * After seeing Milhouse as Lennon, Bart speaks the words "Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye", a direct quote from the Beatles song "I Am the Walrus".
 * When Bart and Milhouse try to escape but are soon caught, they are hiding in a cut-out model of the Yellow Submarine; this is preceded by dramatic incidental music similar to that used in the film.
 * When Homer questions Ned's Beatles collection, Ned says they were bigger than Jesus. This is reference to John Lennon's controversial 1966 quote about the Beatles.
 * Homer refers to Michael Jackson having bought the rights to the Beatles' library of music.
 * The drum solo Homer performs during the first Pre-Teen Braves meeting is also the opening drum part of the song "Get Back" and in the middle of "The End", both by the Beatles.

Product order

In mathematics, given a partial order $$\preceq$$ and $$\sqsubseteq$$ on a set $$A$$ and $$B$$, respectively, the product order (also called the coordinatewise order  or componentwise order ) is a partial ordering $$\leq$$ on the Cartesian product $$A \times B.$$ Given two pairs $$\left(a_1, b_1\right)$$ and $$\left(a_2, b_2\right)$$ in $$A \times B,$$ declare that $$\left(a_1, b_1\right) \leq \left(a_2, b_2\right)$$ if $$a_1 \preceq a_2$$ and $$b_1 \sqsubseteq b_2.$$

Another possible ordering on $$A \times B$$ is the lexicographical order. It is a total ordering if both $$A$$ and $$B$$ are totally ordered. However the product order of two total orders is not in general total; for example, the pairs $$(0, 1)$$ and $$(1, 0)$$ are incomparable in the product order of the ordering $$0 < 1$$ with itself. The lexicographic combination of two total orders is a linear extension of their product order, and thus the product order is a subrelation of the lexicographic order.

The Cartesian product with the product order is the categorical product in the category of partially ordered sets with monotone functions.

The product order generalizes to arbitrary (possibly infinitary) Cartesian products. Suppose $$A \neq \varnothing$$ is a set and for every $$a \in A,$$ $$\left(I_a, \leq\right)$$ is a preordered set. Then the on $$\prod_{a \in A} I_a$$ is defined by declaring for any $$i_{\bull} = \left(i_a\right)_{a \in A}$$ and $$j_{\bull} = \left(j_a\right)_{a \in A}$$ in $$\prod_{a \in A} I_a,$$ that

 * $$i_{\bull} \leq j_{\bull}$$ if and only if $$i_a \leq j_a$$ for every $$a \in A.$$

If every $$\left(I_a, \leq\right)$$ is a partial order then so is the product preorder.

Furthermore, given a set $$A,$$ the product order over the Cartesian product $$\prod_{a \in A} \{0, 1\}$$ can be identified with the inclusion ordering of subsets of $$A.$$

The notion applies equally well to preorders. The product order is also the categorical product in a number of richer categories, including lattices and Boolean algebras.

Borknagar (album)

Borknagar is the debut studio album by Norwegian heavy metal band Borknagar. It is their only album to feature lyrics in the Norwegian language and their only album to feature Roger "Infernus" Tiegs on bass guitar (who reportedly recorded all his bass parts in a single day). The album was recorded at Grieghallen Studios (frequented by other black metal bands such as Burzum, Emperor and Gorgoroth).

The album features a more straightforward black/Viking metal approach (featuring heavy riffs, blasting tempos and an emphasis on harsh vocals) as opposed to the band's now trademark progressive/folk sound they would hint at on their next album, The Olden Domain.

Personnel

 * Borknagar
 * Kristoffer Rygg (credited as "Garm") – vocals
 * Øystein G. Brun – acoustic guitar, electric guitar
 * Roger Tiegs (credited as "Infernus") – bass guitar
 * Ivar Bjørnson – keyboards
 * Erik Brødreskift (credited as "Grim") – drums, percussion

Mahenge Mountains

The Mahenge Mountains are a mountain range in Ulanga District, Morogoro Region, Tanzania. The town of Mahenge is located in the northeastern mountains. The mountains are southeast of Iringa, in the Eastern miombo woodlands ecoregion.

Geography
The Mahenge Mountains cover an area of 2802.29 km2. The Mahenge mountains are an outlier of the Eastern Arc Mountains. The Kilombero Plain lies to the north and west, and separate the Mahenge Mountains from the Udzungwa Mountains. Selous Game Reserve lies to the east. The Mbarika Mountains lie to the south and southwest.

Geology
The mountains are made up of proterozoic rocks, including schist and marble, of the Mozambique Belt.

Spinels are mined from the Ipanko deposit. Australia's Black Rock Mining corporation is developing open-pit graphite mines in the mountains.

Climate
The dry season is June to October.

People
The major economic activities of the Mahenge population is agriculture. The major crops include maize, rice, and beans.

Mahenge is the principal town in the mountains. There is a hospital, a market, and primary schools. A Catholic Capuchin mission was established around 1897, and there is now a St. Francis Kasita Seminary at Mahenge. The Diocese of Mahenge was established in 1964. About 60 percent of the population are Catholic Christians.

Ecology
The Mahenge Mountains are covered with evergreen forest, miombo woodland, grassland, and heathland. Forests extend from 460–1040 meters elevation, and vary in composition and species type with elevation and rainfall. The lower elevations of the mountains and surrounding plains are covered in deciduous miombo forests and woodlands.

An analysis of satellite images taken between 1999 and 2003 found 19 km2 of the mountains were still covered in evergreen forest.

Water is generally scarce due to the limestone plateau, but despite this the area gives its name to the Mahenge Toad (Mertensophryne loveridgei). The rare tree Dombeya amaniensis is also found in this region.

The Mahenge Scarp Catchment Forest Reserve, established in 1954, is 3.87 km2 in area and begins 8 km west of Mahenge town. This forest has been heavily encroached upon for illegal logging.

Sali Forest Reserve, established in 1954, preserves 1890 ha between 1050 and 1500 meters elevation. The forest reserve includes montane and submontane evergreen forests, along with wetlands, dry grasslands, and rocky outcrops. Mselezi forest reserve, also established in 1954, preserves 2245 ha between 500 and 900 meters elevation, and includes riverine lowland forest and semi-evergreen lowland forest.

History
In slaving times, the Mahenge area was notorious as the home of slave hunters.

Talk:Bergmann

"Isn't the name "Bergmann" Jewish and not Swedish? That's what I have always heard."

Well, my name is Bergman, and im from sweden, and im not jewish (and no relatives for atleast a couple of generations back)    //Emil Bergman

Translating it directly from Swedish to English "Bergman" means "mountain man" not "man of the mountain". if you say "man of the mountain" you would directly mean man of one certain mountain (that he owns, possess, inhabits or whatever)and Bergman doesnt mean that.

I've known Jewish and non-Jewish Bergmanns and Bergmans. Most of the Jewish Bergmanns I have met are of German-Jewish ancestry.--Andrewmb 02:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

 * The spelling of man is man is "man" and "mann" in Swedish and German, respectively. Autharitus (talk) 16:44, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not a jewish name. Of course there might be jews with this last name but it is not a jewish last name. It is a German last name. And i rare cases may be swedish in origin. It is much more likely that Swedes named Bergman/Bergmann are of partial German origin due to immigration. Interestingly the Germans migrating to sweden during the ages often were miners, so basically Bergmänner. 178.24.247.88 (talk) 06:22, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Metallurgical Laboratory

Columbia College
Wasn't the reactor at Columbia College, south of Chicago? I had heard that it was a full melt-down. It should have reached the center of the Earth, by now; eating its way through matter.216.215.40.65 (talk) 01:24, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Raquets court
The space under the bleachers was a racquets (sport) court, not a squash (sport) court, altough it is often referenced as being a squash court. James Zug in his authoritative book Squash: A History of the Game (ISBN 0743229908) sets the record straight on this. Racquets, then as now, is a very obscure sport, which probably explains the confusion in the initial reports—together with the fact that at the time squash was called squash racquets. An American squash court is only 18.5 x 32 feet (592 ft²). A racquets court is 30 x 60 feet (1800 ft²) with a higher ceiling—a much more realistic space for such an experiment. — Eoghanacht  talk 28 May 2005 (UTC)

What is the Metallurgical Project
This article mentions the Metallurgical Project five times but never explains it. What is it? --2600:380:5557:1883:8875:A0E6:CEAF:F4C0 (talk) 22:06, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Added an explanation. Hawkeye7 (talk) 01:22, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Can you say what the Metallurgical Laboratory is in the first sentence of the first paragraph? What I get is that it was the code name for some part of the Manhattan Project, it was part of the Metallurgical Project, and the Metallurgical Project was headed by a Nobel Laureate, and the Metallurgical Project's objective was to create a bomb, and the Metallurgical Laboratory produced a chain reaction, and part of its (the Laboratory's) mission was to isolate plutonium. But what is the Metallurgical Laboratory? I would rather get detailed information about the Metallurgical Project from its own article.

There is so much detailed information about the Metallurgical Project that it seems that is the topic rather than the Metallurgical Laboratory while the opening paragraph seems to give no primary information about what the Metallurgical Laboratory is. Is it a project, a school, a space, a group of scientists? Cell phones open with just this paragraph. Maybe the second paragraph could contain the detailed information about the Metallurgical Project after establishing what the Metallurgical Laboratory is. 2600:380:5678:EC67:A196:ADD3:3C0C:797E (talk) 04:17, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Questions

 * I have a couple of issues, things wondered about, so maybe someone can enlighten me. I ran across the "featured article" Chicago Pile-1 so decided to check out Chicago Pile-2. This dumped me back (redirected) to Chicago Pile-1. I checked out Chicago Pile-3 (stub-class), that led to Experimental Breeder Reactor I (Chicago Pile-4), and Chicago Pile-5 through the "See also" section. It seems a better connection could be established.

 * This featured article gave me a few pauses. When I read it I first noticed some confusion. It went from the "Reactor development" section and the subsections of Chicago Pile-1, Pile-2, and Pile-3, before getting into the "Production piles" subsection. That seems strange as it would appear this would be at the beginning since it discusses elements regarding the building of the "Piles". Maybe I am just not getting it but I would think construction concepts (say, homogeneous versus heterogeneous) would be placed ahead of construction details of "Piles".
 * I suppose my main concern is a disconnect between these initial "Piles" and the tying in of related articles. It seems this article is the "parent article", at least concerning the elements that sprung from it, as presented by "main article" in the "Chicago" subsection of Manhattan Project.
 * The sixth paragraph of Nuclear reactor touches on Chicago Pile-1 then the seventh paragraph drops in the Manhattan Project which can also be found in the Nuclear fission history subsection.

 * Anyway, from a readers point of view (not an "expert") it could be a little better presented. Otr500 (talk) 14:47, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Not sure what your question is about the -5 piles. But -1/2 and -3 were designed/built by the Met Lab, while -4 and -5, by Argonne National Laboratory.  Although there is considerable overlap between the two: the Met Lab was a UChicago laboratory that did government contract work, Argonne is the primary successor to the Met Lab but it is a government lab, generally run by UChicago.  At any rate  did the work on this article perhaps he can help you.  Alanscottwalker (talk) 18:23, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

The Fartz

The Fartz were a hardcore punk band that was founded in 1981 and were one of the first well-known bands in their genre from Seattle, Washington. They were signed to Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles Record label. They were notable not only for playing incredibly fast and heavy music, but also for their politically and socially conscious song lyrics that criticized government policies, religious hypocrisy, racism, sexism, and poverty. Throughout their musical career they championed a blue collar, working class perspective on life.

Early career
The Fartz original lineup in 1981 included vocalist Blaine Cook, guitarist Tommy Hansen, bassist Steve Hofmann, and drummer Loud Fart. Hansen and Fart had formerly played together in the Seattle band, Kaos. Cook and Hofmann had first met in 1979 when they worked together at a local restaurant called Red Robin. Hansen taught Hofmann how to play bass. Hofmann asked Fart to play drums when he saw him tinkering with Robo's drum kit at a Black Flag show in Seattle. In the punk tradition of the Ramones, each member of the band took on the family name Fart, so they became known as Blaine Fart, Tommy Fart, Steve Fart and Loud Fart. On the strength of the nine song Because This Fuckin' World Stinks E.P. produced by Neil Hubbard and self-released by the band on their own Fartz Records in 1981 as a 7-inch vinyl 45, they were signed to Jello Biafra's San Francisco-based Alternative Tentacles Records, which released their full length LP entitled World Full of Hate in 1982 as Virus 17, and also re-released their first single as Virus 21 later that same year. This made the Fartz the first Seattle band since Heart to break out of the local music scene and get signed to an out-of-town record label. They also had one song, "Campaign Speech," appear on the 1981 Seattle Syndrome Vol. I compilation released by Engram Records.

Paul Dana, who had earlier been in the proto-hardcore Seattle band Solger, replaced Hansen on guitar during the recording of the band's 1982 album, although Hansen still played on five of the 15 tracks on the LP. After the recording of the first LP was completed in June 1982, Fart was replaced on drums by Duff McKagan, who played on a five-song demo recording that was made in November 1982 but not released until 1990. McKagan's role in the Fartz has sometimes been exaggerated. Cook has been quoted as saying McKagan was only "in the band for a few months," while Hofmann had said he only played one or two shows with McKagan in the Fartz.

During their brief two-year existence, the Fartz became known as one of the trilogy of West Coast hardcore punk bands that included San Francisco's Dead Kennedys and Vancouver´s D.O.A. These three groups often played together up and down the West Coast between San Francisco, California and Vancouver. The Fartz song "Buried Alive" appeared on the Eastern Front Vol. II punk compilation album released by Enigma Records in 1983, along with tracks by other West Coast hardcore punk acts such as The Lewd, Channel 3, Wasted Youth, Shattered Faith, and JFA. Despite their regional reputation, the Fartz had a difficult time getting booked to play clubs in their own hometown of Seattle, although their practice space was in the backstage area of the Showbox Theater on First Avenue, where many of the early all ages punk shows took place while the venue was managed by Modern Productions.

10 Minute Warning
After several changes to the lineup in the guitar and drummer positions, by mid-November 1982 the first incarnation of the Fartz had evolved into a new band known as 10 Minute Warning. The original idea was that the Fartz would simply change their name to 10 Minute Warning, but after one west coast tour with the Dead Kennedys in the Fall of 1982, Blaine was replaced on vocals by Steve Swad (formerly of The Wad Squad). Duff switched from drums to rhythm guitar, Paul continued to play lead guitar, and Greg Gillmore joined on drums. These lineup changes resulted in a post-punk sound quite different from the hardcore of the Fartz. 10 Minute Warning continued with this new lineup and sound throughout 1983, and recorded some additional still unreleased demos, before finally disbanding. Greg Gillmore would later go on to join Mother Love Bone.

Disbanding
After a one-off July 4, 1983 reunion show featuring the lineup of Blaine, Steve, Paul, and Duff, the former members of the Fartz went their separate ways for the next 15 years. Fartz vocalist Blaine Cook started to sing for the hardcore/thrash band The Accüsed in 1984. In the same year Duff McKagan moved to Los Angeles and became the bass player for the hard rock band Guns N' Roses within the next year. The Fartz original guitarist Tommy Hansen later played with the band Crisis Party, which released one LP, Rude Awakening, on Capitol Records in 1989.

Reforming
Interest in the Fartz began to revive in 1990 with the release in Germany of a vinyl only LP entitled You, We See You Crawling, which was composed of previously unreleased demo tapes recorded in 1981-1982. In 1998 Alternative Tentacles issued a retrospective anthology of all the group's previous recordings entitled Because This Fuckin' World Still Stinks. It was the first time any of the Fartz material had been available on CD; all of their previous releases having been vinyl only. The 1998 CD included all the songs from both the 1981 EP and the 1982 LP, as well as unreleased demos that included some songs recorded after the band had changed its name to 10 Minute Warning. Out of the 35 tracks on this anthology, Tommy Hansen played guitar on 15 of them, and Paul Solger on the other 20.

The release of the 1998 Fartz anthology by Alternative Tentacles prompted Blaine to reunite the lineup that had recorded the majority of the World Full of Hate LP: Steve, Paul, and Loud. However, this lineup had already changed by June 2000 when a new lineup recorded the four-song N.W.T.O. E.P. Loud was replaced on drums by Karl Fowler of the Detonators soon after their reunion, while Paul Solger played with reformed Fartz for about a year before he was replaced by Alex "Maggot Brain" Sibbald, who had been the bass player in Blaine's other band, the Accused, leaving Blaine and Steve as the only two original members in the reunited Fartz. According to an interview with Blaine, Paul was fired from the reformed Fartz after he failed to show up for the band's performance at Jeff Gilbert's "Pain in the Grass" music festival, and almost missed another show in Portland, Oregon.

It was the lineup of Blaine, Steve, Alex and Karl that recorded the Fartz new studio LP, What's In A Name?, which was produced by Jack Endino and released by Alternative Tentacles in the summer of 2001. Most of these new studio tracks were re-recordings of their earlier songs, except for a new cover of the Motorhead song "Iron Fist," which had also appeared on the N.W.T.O. E.P. The back cover of the 2001 LP paid homage to the band's previous members by stating, "Special thanx to Ex-Fartz:  Paul Solger, Loud, Tommy Hansen." It then humorously added, "We apologize for Duff."

This second reincarnation of the Fartz released a full-length studio LP of 15 completely new songs produced by Jack Endino called Injustice on the Alternative Tentacles label in 2002, as well as a live LP called Viet-Raq that was released the same year. This 2002 live album combined recordings of two performances in Washington state, one at The Breakroom on February 18, 2000; and a second show at The Lobo Bar on June 29, 2002. The 28 tracks include songs such as "Is This The Way," and "Buried Alive," that have also been associated with the band 10 Minute Warning, as they were first recorded in late 1982 when the Fartz were in the process of changing their name and their lineup. The final incarnation of the reformed Fartz continued to play live shows in the Pacific Northwest until 2003 when Blaine and Alex rejoined a reformed Accused, and then a few years later the duo joined the band Toe Tag.

Alternate Versions of Songs
Due to the band's evolution from the Fartz into 10 Minute Warning and the Accüsed, and then back into the Fartz again, some of the same songs have been recorded by three or four incarnations of the band. "Is This The Way," "Judgement Day," and "Buried Alive" were all recorded by various versions of the Fartz and 10 Minute Warning. The Accüsed also re-recorded some Fartz songs.

Talk:Ausaas

Other than being Horus' wife, what characteristics exactly does Ausaas have, if any?

I have been trying to work out the translation of her name as well - the only thing I can think of is that it is a very corrupted rendering of Isis (Aset/Auset in Egyptian), who was Horus' wife in the time period we are talking about with Ra-Herakhty.

Comparison of video container formats

These tables compare features of multimedia container formats, most often used for storing or streaming digital video or digital audio content. To see which multimedia players support which container format, look at comparison of media players.

General information
In many ways, derived containers are similar to those on which they are based, sometimes extending them, sometimes limiting their capabilities.

 * QTFF
 * ISO BMFF
 * MP4
 * 3GPP, 3GPP2
 * F4V

 * MPEG-PS
 * MPEG-TS
 * M2TS
 * VOB
 * EVOB

 * MCF
 * Matroska
 * WebM

 * RIFF
 * AVI
 * DMF

 * RM
 * RMVB

Support level legend:

Some features are only supported by a few containers:
 * Attachments (additional files, such as fonts for subtitles) are only supported in Matroska, MP4 and QTFF. M2TS supports attachments as multiple files in a specific file structure: fonts for subtitles are in  files in the   directory.
 * Interactive menus are only supported in MP4, QTFF, M2TS, EVO and DMF. VOB supports interactive menus as multiple files in a specific file structure for encoding DVD content, requiring a companion  file. Matroska has been planning to support interactive menus as part of a draft specification since 2004.
 * Digital 3D is only supported at the container format level in Matroska, MXF and WebM (some stereo modes). M2TS supports Digital 3D as multiple files in a specific file structure for encoding stereoscopic video: MVC stereoscopic data is in  files in the   directory and require a respective base   file. Digital 3D in QTFF and ASF is possible, but not standard. MP4 only supports Digital 3D at the video format level.

Some common multimedia file formats are not completely distinct container formats. Some are containers for specific audio and video coding formats, such as WebM, a subset of Matroska. Some are combinations of common container formats and audio and video coding profiles, such as AVCHD and DivX formats. Although sometimes compared to DivX products, Xvid is neither a container format nor a video format, it is a software library that encodes video using specific coding profiles of the common MPEG-4 ASP video format. Those types of restrictions are intended to simplify the construction of multimedia recorders and players.

Video coding formats support
Support level legend:

Some containers only support a restricted set of video formats:
 * DMF only supports MPEG-4 Visual ASP with DivX profiles.
 * EVO only supports MPEG-4 AVC, MPEG-1 Video, MPEG-2 Video and VC-1.
 * F4V only supports MPEG-4 AVC, MPEG-4 Visual and H.263.
 * FLV only supports MPEG-4 Visual, VP6, Sorenson Spark and Screen Video. MPEG-4 AVC in FLV is possible, but not standard.
 * M2TS only supports MPEG-4 AVC, MPEG-1 Video, MPEG-2 Video, MPEG-4 Visual and VC-1.
 * Ogg only supports Theora, MNG, JNG, PNG and Dirac. Firefox supports VP9 and VP8 in Ogg. VLC supports MPEG-2 Video, MPEG-4 Visual and VC-1 in Ogg.
 * RMVB only supports RealVideo versions RV30, RV40 and RV60.
 * VOB only supports MPEG-1 Video and MPEG-2 Video.
 * WebM only supports VP9, VP8, and AV1.

Audio coding formats support
Support level legend:

Some containers only support a restricted set of audio formats:
 * DMF only supports MP3, AC-3, DTS and LPCM.
 * EVO only supports MP3, AC-3, E-AC-3, DTS, MP2, MP1, DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, MLP and LPCM.
 * F4V only supports AAC and MP3.
 * FLV only supports AAC, MP3, LPCM, A-law PCM, μ-law PCM, Speex, Asao and SWF ADPCM.
 * M2TS only supports AC-3, E-AC-3, DTS, DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD and LPCM.
 * Ogg only supports Opus, Vorbis, FLAC, A-law PCM, μ-law PCM, IEEE floating-point PCM, Speex and CELT. OGMtools supports MP3 and AC-3 in Ogg.
 * RMVB only supports AC-3, ATRAC3, G.728, AAC-LC, HE-AAC v1, IS-54, Cook Codec, Sipro Lab, ACELP-NET and RealAudio Lossless.
 * VOB only supports MP2 directly. It also supports AC-3, DTS, MLP and LPCM as private streams.
 * WebM only supports Opus and Vorbis.

Audio-only content can sometimes be placed in a simpler audio-only container, such as Native FLAC for FLAC and ADTS for AAC.

Subtitle formats support
Support level legend:

Some containers only support a restricted set of subtitle formats:
 * DMF only supports XSUB.
 * EVO only supports HD DVD PGS.
 * F4V only supports TTXT. SubRip and WebVTT can be converted losslessly to TTXT.
 * FLV only supports loading subtitles with ActionScript, but this functionality may be restricted to the official Adobe Flash Player. WebVTT can be converted losslessly to ActionScript.
 * M2TS only supports Blu-ray PGS. VobSub can be partially converted to PGS using tools that are not officially related to the container format.
 * Ogg only supports Ogg Kate and CMML. SubRip can be converted losslessly to Ogg Kate. Ogg Writ is well supported in Ogg in common tools such as OGMtools and VLC, but there's no intention to turn its draft into a fully supported specification. Xiph recommends using Kate for subtitles. MicroDVD can be converted to Ogg Writ.
 * RMVB only supports RealText. SMIL can be partially converted to RealText.
 * VOB only supports VobSub. PGS can be partially converted to VobSub using tools that are not officially related to the container format.
 * WebM only supports WebVTT. SubRip can be converted losslessly to WebVTT.

Converting image subtitles to text formats is possible using third-party tools but relies on optical character recognition, which is not perfectly accurate and can at best extract basic formatting. Conversion of text to images is possible while preserving content and style. Round-trip format conversion between text formats may not be possible without losing some formatting features.

Overhead
Multimedia containers interleave data in media streams to enable efficient playback using fewer computational resources, such as time spent reading from the storage drive, memory needed to buffer selected media streams, and time spent decoding when seeking to a different position in time. In this sense, muxing overhead is the control information added by the container to carry interleaved streams. A smaller overhead results in a smaller file when carrying the same streams with the same data. Overhead is affected by the total number of packets and by the size of stream packet headers. In high bitrate encodings, the content payload is usually large enough to make the overhead data relatively insignificant, but in low bitrate encodings, the inefficiency of the overhead can significantly affect the resulting file size if the container uses large stream packet headers or a large number of packets.

In general, Matroska requires the least overhead, followed by MP4, AVI and Ogg.
